Wings: Tegmina short, rounded in outline, and pink reddish with black posterior margins. Abdomen: Abdominal segments brown, with well­defined dorsal midline. Abdominal end thickly bulging. Furculae exaggeratedly long, cylindrical, elevated joined three quarters of their length, then separating, flattening and flaring on top portion.
