Crown and pronotum finely rugose. Crown with median length slightly shorter than next to eyes. Face wider than long, without setae adjacent to corresponding eye; ocelli placed closer to midline than to corresponding eye; lateral frontal sutures distinct, not reaching ocelli; lora broad; lateral margin of gena slightly concave; anteclypeus broader preapically than at base and apex, anteclypeus surpassing apex of gena; rostrum long, reaching hind coxae. Pronotum with short lateral margin, anterior margin convex and posterior slightly concave. Mesonotum and scutellum together longer than pronotum. Forewing with four apical cells and two subapical cells (r-m1 and m-cu1 present), outer apical cell largest; appendix broad, extended to third apical cell. Fore femur with very short and fine AD and PD setae; AV and PV with dense and long and fine setae on apical half, basal half with several long and fine setae. Fore tibia with AV and PV setae, long and stout setae on apical half, fine setae on base half. Hind femur with 2+1 apical macrosetae. Hind tibiae with 13–15 setae on row PD, 8 setae on row AD and 9–10 setae on row AV. Hind basitarsus with three platellae.

Pygofer dorsal margin with anterior dorsally directed lobe, caudal margin rounded. Anal tube with long acuminate process nearly reaching ventral margin of pygofer. Subgenital plate broadened distally in lateral view, with fine and dense setae on dorsal and ventral margin, as long as pygofer. Connective Y-shaped, with medial longitudinal keel. Style broad in apical half in lateral view, apex with lobe on each side, with dense setae on lateral surface subapically. Aedeagus simple, aedeagal shaft slender; dorsal apodeme developed; gonopore subapical.
Female genitalia with seventh sternite caudal margin produced, concave in middle. First valvulae broad, curved dorsally, apex pointed, with sculpture strigate on apical half. Second valvulae broad, straight, with 18–20 irregular dorsal teeth on apical half.
