Diagnosis.
Scutellum and pronotum with two wide yellow spots on the anterolateral regions. Yellow bands present on the external margins of the pronotum, hemelytra and connexivum.
Head. Margins of juga with a moderate concavity in front of eyes; apex of head semicircular, with a thin black line. Proportion of antennal segments: I<II<III<IV≈V. All antennal segments black. Rostrum surpassing the metacoxae. Tylus and base of head black.
Thorax. Anterolateral margins of pronotum with a strong submarginal dorsal depression and with a wide yellow band. Cicatrices of pronotum and external margins of propleura black. 1 + 1 black spots present close to the humeral angles.
Abdomen. Abdominal spine not reaching metacoxae. Spiracles brown. Connexivum with wide black bands on both anterior and posterior margins.
Male genitalia. Unknown.
Female genitalia. Gonocoxites 8 convex and laterotergites 9 concave. Posterior margins of the gonocoxites 8 slightly curved. Gonocoxite 9 slightly concave.
Pars intermedialis
slightly conical, as long as the
capsula seminalis
;
capsula seminalis
three times the width of
pars intermedialis
. Anterior annular flange shorter than the posterior and slightly curved towards the vesicular area. Posterior annular flange curved towards the
pars intermedialis
. Processes of
capsula seminalis
subequal in length, twice the length of
pars intermedialis
.
Adult size.
12–13mm
.
