COLORATION: Entirely dark, nearly black; inconspicuous, light-colored, thin, medial longitudinal stripe on postocular lobe. Membrane of hemelytron semi-translucent. VESTITURE: Densely setose. Dorsum of anteocular lobe with moderately dense, short, recumbent and sparse, short, erect, spine-like setae. Dorsum of postocular lobe nearly glabrous; spine-like setae anteriorly between eyes; stripe of longitudinal whitish recumbent setae laterally. Ventral surface of head with moderately dense, recumbent setae, intermixed with erect setae. Scape nearly glabrous. Pronotum with dense, short, erect, stout, spine-like setae, also on lateral surfaces and pleura; scutellum with dense, apically curved, stout setae. Legs with sparse setation. Sundew setae on profemur sparse. Abdomen with moderately dense, short, semi-erect, fine setae. Ventral surface of pypophore with sparse, long, erect setae; posteroventral rim with long, erect setae; Paramere apically with dense, short to long, erect setae. STRUCTURE: Head: Cylindrical, L/W = 2.30. Postocular lobe short; in dorsal view anteriorly gradually narrowing, posterior portion constant, slightly narrower. Eye moderately sized; dorsal margin attaining postocular transverse groove, ventral margin removed from ventral surface of head. Labium: I: II: III = 1: 1.7: 0.5. Basiflagellomere diameter slightly larger than that of pedicel. Thorax: Anterolateral angle rounded, without projection; medial longitudinal sulcus evident throughout, deepening posteriorly. Posterior pronotal lobe with rugulose surface; disc distinctly elevated above humeral angle; humeral angle rounded, without projection. Scutellum long; apex angulate, slightly projected upward. Legs: Very slender. Hemelytron: Greatly surpassing apex of abdomen by about 3x length of abdominal segment seven; quadrate cell large and broad; Cu and M of cubital cell subparallel. GENITALIA: (Fig. 17) Pygophore: Elongate ovoid; mid-lateral fold adjacent to paramere insertion; slightly expanded laterally near base of paramere in dorsal view. Medial process somewhat laterally compressed, cone-shaped; anterior and posterior surfaces angulate medially; long, nearly as long as paramere; posteriorly directed, nearly horizontal; basally slightly curved; apex in posterior view blunt, without modification. Paramere: Cylindrical; moderately long, not reaching apex of medial process; directed posteriad, slightly curved towards medial process; nearly straight; apical part slightly enlarged, depression along inner side. Phallus: Dorsal phallothecal sclerite elongated; slightly constricted near middle; apical 1/3 of phallothecal sclerite tapering to apex, dorsal surface strongly convex; apex medially notched; posterior margin of foramen deeply concave. Struts attached to dorsal phallothecal sclerite; apically separate, connected by bridge; basally separate. Basal plate arm extremely slender; separate; subparallel; bridge short; extension of basal plate well developed, only slightly expanded laterally.</paragraph>

Larger than male, total length 13.87-17.61 mm (mean 16.27 mm, Suppl. material 2). Abdomen expanded beyond margins of wings. Metafemoral diameter smallest, mesofemoral diameter significantly larger than that of profemur. Occasional specimens with orange posterior pronotal lobe and mesopleuron.

Also recognized by the following combination of characters: the postocular lobe short, 1.7x of the length of anteocular lobe in males and 1.2x in females; the anterior pronotal lobe short, abbreviated; the pronotum strongly convex; the humeral angle of pronotum rounded, unarmed; the cranium, the pronotum, the pleura and the scutellum with spinelike, short, stout setae (the last two characters also seen in the
