Diagnostic characters.
The male fits well the redescription by
Hirvenoja & Hirvenoja (1988: 217)
. The female has AR 0.62, hind tibia without S-shaped spur, 4 setae on gonocoxite IX, 4 on tergite IX and coxosternapodeme with 8–9 lateral lamellae. The pupa is
1.6–1.8 mm
long, has no taeniate L-setae on tergite I and only one on tergite II, and 46–49 taeniae in fringe of anal lobe; tergites III–VII with thick hooklets. The larvae are separable by AR 1.17–1.20, mentum with three median teeth, the central tooth smaller than the lateral median one; the first lateral teeth as large as adjacent tooth; and weakly sculptured head capsule.
