Length. Male:
5.3–6.2mm
; female: 8.0–
8.7mm
.
Ochraceous with markings as in Plate I: A–E.
Crown width as long as 1.5x length and slightly shorter than pronotum (Plate I: A & B). Ocelli on anterior margin of head 2–
3
x their own diameter from eye. Clypellus parallel-sided (Plate I: C).
Male genitalia.
Valve width more than
3x
median length, posterior margin medially convex (
Fig. 1
B). Subgenital plate triangular divergent apically, with about 8 scattered macrosetae and several fine setae laterally (
Fig. 1
B). Style preapical lobe triangular, apophysis moderately long, laterally curved (
Figs 1
C–E). Connective with anterior arms closely appressed or crossed, with distinct stem (
Fig. 1
F). Aedeagal shaft cylindrical, robust, hinged at base; gonopore large, subapical on dorsal surface (
Figs 1
G, 1H).
Female genitalia.
Pygofer without macrosetae, with few short fine setae (Plate I: D). Sternite VII truncated on posterior margin (Plate I: E).

Distribution.
Palearctic.
Remarks.
Figs 1
C–E show the variation of the style.
Fig. 1
C shows the style attached to part of the subgenital plate. As the color of the subgenital plate is similar to the style it has often been figured as a single pincer-shaped structure (
Dlabola, 1958
;
Kalkandelen, 1974
;
Emeljanov, 1999
). When the style is fully dissected it appears as in
Figs 1
D and 1E.
