Forewing: costal cell with a ventral line of 12 setae extending from base to apex; postmarginal vein 0.77–0.83X as long as stigmal vein; stigma slightly swollen; marginal fringe as long as width of costal cell at widest point; length: 1.36–1.92 mm . Legs: length of fore femur 4– 5 X its width; hind leg with femur, tibia and basitarsus length/width =4.30–5.00, 9.14–13.4 and 3.33–4.80X, respectively.

Body length: 1.53–2.01 mm . MALE. Sexual dimorphism evident; male smaller than female, body length 1.11–1.66 mm ; fore femur very swollen, only 2X as long as wide ( Fig. 1 g), tarsomeres of fore leg shorter than female; basal 3 tarsomeres wider than long or quadrate; arolia large; head higher than female, head width/height = 1.08–1.25; funicle with three and clava with two segments. Genitalia ( Fig. 1 h) with subgenital plate exposed; aedeagus elongate, bifid; digitus with 4 or 5 apical teeth and one basal tooth; with pyramidal-shaped, raised intervolsellar process. Host.
