Description (
holotype
)
.
Head and thorax (color)
. Ground color mostly brownish-yellow. Crown (
Figs 39, 40
) with pair of ovoid, dark brown maculae, about equidistant from eyes and median line. Face (
Fig. 40
) with pair of transverse brown stripes below ocelli. Frons (
Fig. 40
) with pair of inconspicuous, elongate lateral brown maculae. Pronotum (
Fig. 39
) with four irregular dark brown maculae, one pair on median area and another pair near lateral margins; median area with irregular macula, posteriorly brown and anteriorly pale brown. Mesoscutellum (
Fig. 39
) with pair of maculae on laterobasal portions and macula on central region, brown. Forewings with veins partially covered by brown on basal half and by yellow on distal half. Lateral portions of mesothorax with large dark brown macula.
Male genitalia
. Pygofer (
Fig. 41
), in lateral view, with basal apodeme rounded apically; posterior portion with rounded lobe separated from anterior portion by non-sclerotized line, with scattered setae (
Fig. 42
); posteroventral margin with hook-shaped process (
Fig. 43
). Subgenital plates (
Fig. 44
), in ventral view, elongate, fused to valve (with faint suture between plates and valve), narrowing gradually towards obtuse apex; in lateral view (
Fig. 41
), extending posteriorly slightly beyond pygofer apex, with longer setae dorsally. Styles (
Fig. 45
), in lateral view, with oblique projection at dorsal portion for articulation with connective; outer fork small, rounded, subapical region with setae; inner fork more developed with small projection at subapical portion directed ventrally. Connective (
Fig. 45
), in lateral view, linear, fused to aedeagus; T-shaped in dorsal view. Aedeagus (
Fig. 45
), in lateral view, with basal region subquadrate, directed anteriorly, narrowing towards shaft; the latter directed ventrally and then dorsally, elongate and narrow, with pair of long subapical processes (
Fig. 46
) directed anteriorly and pair of short apical processes (
Fig. 46
) directed outward; gonopore apical (
Fig. 46
). Anal tube (
Fig. 41
) short; segment X with pair of processes, each one (
Fig. 47
) with superior and inferior rami, superior ramus bifurcated distally.
Female
. Unknown.
