Pale, usually uniformly stramineous although darker markings may be present especially on thoracic pleuron and lateral portions of abdomen. Head slightly narrower than prothorax. Vertex slightly longer than wide, medially slightly produced; carinae of head evident, obscure at fastigium, concolorous to head. Frons subparallel, widest in ventral half; fork of median carina of frons approximately at fastigium. Antennae with pedicel twice as long as wide, weakly curved caudad, with close-set pustules bearing sensory spines, pustules forming a double row of 3 each on dorsal surface, one pustule on posterior surface, 12 smaller pustules on anterior surface (

Most individuals brachypterous, tegmina apically rounded, shorter than abdomen leaving male pygofer and usually additional segments exposed in dorsal view. Macropters with wings clear, except some veins darkened near apex. Macropterous wing venation varied among individuals (particularly with respect to the number and arrangement of peripheral veins of the radius and anterior cubitus), but usually bearing 1 subcostal branch, 3 radial (R1, R2+3 and R4+5), 1 media, and 3 anterior cubitus branches (Cu1a, Cu1b, Cu2); nodal line in distal ¾ of wing, outer subapical cell longer than inner subapical cell.
