Description-male. Head . Vertex, occiput and rostrum yellowish brown. Ocellar triangle enclosed by dark spot. Wings . Membrane hyaline, slightly tinged with grayish brown, with greatly reduced apical and pterostigmal bands. Forewing 1A ending almost same level of ORs; and usually, two cross-veins between 1A and 2A (one in the left forewing, and none in the rightwing of holotype ). Hindwings similar to forewings. Abdomen . T1–T5 black. A6 black, cylindrical. A7 and A8 black and slightly yellowing towards apex, A7 cylindrical, A8 constricted basally and beveled apically. Male genitalia . Genital bulb mostly yellowish brown and oval, with distal portion of gonostyli black. Epandrium extending beyond middle of gonostylus, tapering towards apex, with U-shaped terminal emargination and forming two finger-like processes. Hypandrium Y-shaped and approximately 3/5 as long as gonocoxites, with basal stalk approximately half as long as hypovalves. Hypovalves slender, divergent, with sparse long bristles along inner margin. Gonostyli approximately half as long as gonocoxites, with broad earlobe-shaped basal lobe and rounded median tooth. Parameres slender and covered with numerous microtrichia on inner margin of each branch; two parameres crossed at middle portion, with distal portions approximately parallel and directing caudad. Ventral aedeagal valves membranous and covered with numerous microtrichia; dorsal processes stout, greatly elongated, nearly parallel, neck-like in basal half and subacute in distal half. Description-female. Similar to males in general appearance. Female genitalia . Subgenital plate oval with slightly pointed apex, and sparse long setae on distal margin.
