Segmental ratios (scape taken as 1): 1:0.77:3.69:1.15. Scape slender (

in an area of indigenous vegetation located behind a small development called the Cedar Inn which overlooks the Clanwilliam Dam. The two collecting episodes, one early in September, the other at the end of August, indicate that the species flies during spring. The locality is situated on the lower slopes of a hilly area known as the Uitkomsberge which reaches altitudes of only about

The area has rocky outcrops separated by sandy areas and boasts a wide variety of plant species.
