Basal infuscation reaches to apical quarter anal lobe and its margin runs obliquely to posterior end of m­cu across base of dm to just before r­m crossvein. Middle infuscation occupies apical half of dm, basal half of m1, fore margin of m2 becomes evanescent before the wing margin in m2 and then runs forward across r5 to the base of the interradial vein in cell r1. Crossvein r­m just beyond basal quarter of dm, cell r5 very narrowly open at margin, m­m and m­cu both sinuous and parallel with hind margin of wing, subequal in length, M2 sinuous almost parallel to M1 and sloping towards apex of wing so that m1 is slightly wider than m2 at the wing margin. Squama brown with red fringe. Haltere black with apex of knob red­brown.
