Eyes large, with about 15–20 facets, their front margin protruding over base of antennae. Mouth cone short. Antennae moniliform (figs 1, 2), 8-segmented, with all segments bearing long setae; segments I not clearly visible; segments II–IV inverse conically shaped, III and IV tapering distally; V–VII barrel-shaped, VIII spindle-shaped; shape of apical sensoria on III and IV transvers, however, not clearly assessable (only visible on the right antenna). Pronotum without visible sculpturing; trapezoidal, with longitudinal sutures near the lateral margins; length/width ration not assessable (deformed); with one pair of strong anteroangular setae, three pairs of anteromarginal setae and one pair of posteroangular setae (the slightly weaker setae lying close to both posteroangular setae most likely derive from the coxae, c.f. fig. 2: sco), posteromarginal setae not visible. Mesonotum transversally striate in front of median setae but smooth towards hind margin (fig. 2); lateral setae strong. Fore wings narrow, with two longitudinal veins and a cross vein one third of the wing length away from the base (fig. 3); first vein with a row of 17, second vein with 15 setae; clavus with one marginal seta; wing fringes long and straight. Fore femora stout; middle and hind femora not enlarged (fig. 1). All tibiae dorsally bearing a long median seta; distal tooth on fore tibiae not assessable (possibly broken off). Tarsi two-segmented; basal tarsomere of fore tarsi with a long apical seta. Abdominal tergites with faint lines of transverse sculpture; tergites IX and X with long setae; tergite X with a pair of trichobothria with long axial setae (fig. 4). Sternites without accessory setae. Ovipositor weak.</paragraph>
