Head
: eyes included, slightly more than half as broad as thorax (Fig. 7B); dark olivaceous-brown with antennae and apex of clypeus black (Figs. 7B, C); vertex much broader posteriorly than anteriorly, with anterior margin strongly emarginate and lateral margins carinate; posterior half with 2 strong impressions separated by median carina, anterior half with 2 semicircular humps (Fig. 7B); frons longer than broad, punctured and wrinkled, with strong peridiscal carina and slightly marked median carina on superior half (Fig. 7C); obsolete cephalic process hooked and flattened on dorsal part of head (Fig. 7B); clypeus longer than frons, medially carinate (Fig. 7C); labium reaching apex of abdomen, black-brown with yellow ring on penultimate segment (Fig. 7E); ratio BV/LV = 5; BF/LF = 1.
Thorax
: (Fig. 7B) dark olivaceous-brown, sometimes mesonotum slightly tinged with red; pronotum wrinkled with anterior margin carinate and strongly bisinuate, and posterior margin strongly and angulously emarginate medially; strong median carina with deeply impressed point on each side; mesonotum with median carina not reaching apex posteriorly and curved peridiscal carinae; disc wrinkled and with slightly impressed point at postero-lateral angle; ratio BT/LP+LM = 1.14; LP/LM = 0.52.
Tegmina
: (Fig. 7A) olivaceous-brown with irregular black-brown markings; usually 3–4 larger spots along costal margin and 1 at apico-sutural angle; white spot along sutural margin at nodal line of cross-veins; costal margin slightly curved; apical margin obliquely rounded; sutural margin sinuate; maximal breadth near nodal line; ratio LTg/BTg = 2.5.
Hind
wings
: (Fig. 7A) slightly broader than tegmina; bright red with band along sutural margin and apical 1/3 black; red area rarely turning to bright orange-red apically; 3–4 large and 1–2 small black spots on basosutural half of disc, usually 2–3 larger ones with small white spot in middle; 0–2 small white spots on apicocostal half of disc; irregular grey-white markings on apical 1/3, often confluent.
Legs
: (Figs 7A, E) black-brown; rarely femora and tibiae I and II with slightly marked paler, brown rings; tibiae III with 5–6 lateral and 7 apical spines.
Abdomen
: red dorsally, sometimes tinged with brown in middle (Fig. 7A); black ventrally (Fig. 7E).
Male genitalia
: anal tube short, thick and broad, with subbasal hump dorsally in lateral view and lateral margins strongly rounded in dorsal view (
Figs. 18A–C
); subtriangular in posterior view (
Fig. 18B
); pygofer with hind margin bisinuate in lateral view (
Fig. 18A
), broader slightly above middle in postero-ventral view (
Fig. 18D
); gonostyli roundly pointed apically in lateral view, with dorsal margin broadly rounded and ventral margin bisinuate (
Fig. 18A
), contiguous in postero-ventral view, and with teeth projecting latero-ventrally in postero-ventral view (
Fig. 18D
).
