Antennae slender but not very long, hardly reaching towards the anal segment. Body surface completely smooth and shiny; only mesonotum bearing a few minute tubercles roughly arranged in two longitudinal rows. Basic colouration of body and legs lurid pale brown, overlaid with many minute dark brown speckles, broken lines and patches. A prominent, black longitudinal dorsomedian line runs along the complete dorsal surface of the head and body. In some specimens this line can be interrupted on the abdomen and only the faint posteromedian tubercles or humps on the tergites show a black marking. Head with several indistinct, pale and dark brown longitudinal dorsolateral lines and a dark postocular line. Antennae irregularly brown and yellow annulated. Eyes marbled in black and pale brown. Metaepisternum cream to pale beige. Legs pale to dark brown with indistinct yellowish mottling.

): Of average size for the genus. Capsule barrel-shaped, about 2x longer than wide and oval in cross-section. Lateral surfaces very gently convex. If seen in lateral aspect, polar-area with a distinct median impression and swollen posteroventrally. Anterior margin of capsule slightly raised and simple. Surface of capsule irregularly granulose and tuberculose, the sculpturing become increasingly prominent towards the polar end of capsule. Micropylar plate small, oval, 1.21.3x longer than wide and about ¼ the length of capsule. Surface gently convex and granulose. Micropylar cup small, elongate and positioned close to the posterior margin of micropylar plate. Median line very prominent, almost reaching to polar-area and 1.5x longer than micropylar plate. Operculum oval, very slightly convex and with a small, flat hump in the centre; surface structured like capsule. General colouration pale greyish brown. Portion around micropylar plate brown.
