Body color light yellow to white, without dark pattern ( Fig. 2A–B ); body smooth on surface, bearing sparse, short setae. Triocellate; compound eyes reduced into small spots, with length only three times that of the ocellus ( Fig. 3A–B ). Mouthparts mostly sclerotized. Lacinia short, inner edge on apex divided into 3 large teeth, followed by a row of hair brushes. Glossae slightly shorter than the paraglossae ( Fig. 3C–E ). Pronotum rectangular, typical of this family. Mesothorax and metathorax are weakly sclerotized, but the wing pads and complex ventral sclerites are still obvious in the HDR (High Dynamic Range) images ( Fig. 4A– D ). The results of morphological study showed that these features, especially the mouthparts and thoracic sclerites, match those of the genus Rhopalopsole .
