, 1924 due to phylogenetic and overall morphological characteristics. The very slender, elongate, stick-like and medium sized body defines the species. The antennae are ensiform and triangular in cross-section. The head is acutely conical elongated and the end of the abdomen shows dense and long hairs. The arolium is large. The subgenital plate is elongate and acutely conical; the ovipositor is short with well-curved valves and sharp tips.

. General coloration dark-brown. Antennae, fore and middle legs and knees are slightly paler than the brown primary color of the body. The upper part of the head, thorax and abdomen, within the callus line, is beige. The Fv is dark brown almost black. A longitudinal stripe extends from the front of the head backwards along the central ridge of the body. The lateral stripe backwards from the base of the eye is beige-pink. It starts at the lower hind corner of the eye (as a somewhat raised callus ridge) and reaches the end of the middle leg. Eyes brown, hind femora of brown color processing into yellow beneath, knees, upper and lower external carina of the hind femur yellow. Hind tibia orange and brown in the lower side, spines and spurs black-tipped.

Posterior margins of the antennae segments of one male specimen are matt beige, while the rest is of the usual common shiny brown color.
