Described
from a single specimen from
Boyer
,
Oregon
. Yellow-brown to chestnut, darker mid-dorsal stripe but perhaps not darker at head and tail;
10
–
11 mm
long.
Antennae
with 24–28 articles, coxosternal teeth 3+3, pores “few in number
(!)
”.
Produced
tergites: 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 (
Chamberlin 1938
).
The
antennomere count is low for this genus and along with the unspecified, but “few” coxal pores raises questions about the maturity of the
type
.
