Diagnosis.
Frons with a pair of brown stripes, extending from anterior margin to vertex. Face with a pair of short brown stripe extending from base of antenna to inner margin of parafacial; parafacial with sparse silvery white pruinosity. Antennal 1st flagellomere blackish brown on apical 1/2–2/3, arista with ray short plumose. A brown triangular spot present between base of antenna and eye. Palpus black on apical 1/2. Mesonotum with a pair of brown medial stripes between
dc
rows, gray area present between two medial stripes; two lateral stripes along supraalar setae. Scutellum yellow with a large blackish brown spot. Mid and hind legs with blackish brown joint between femur and tibia. Wing with a brown spot at tip of Sc and R1, slightly extending downward, but not confluent with brown cloud on
r-m
; a large subapical spot on R2+3 confluent with two round spots on R4+5; apical spot on R4+5 extending to costal margin, and confluent with preapical spot on M1; three brown spots present between
r-m
and apical spot on R4+5, upper margin of T-shaped spot on
dm-cu
confluent with two brown spots on R4+5. Abdominal tergites 3–6 each with posterior margin, male tergites 2–6 (female 2–7) each with a thin brown stripe-like spot and a pair of small brown lateral spots close to anterior margin.
