Mostly black with a faint greenish hue, immediately distinguished from all known species by the yellow anterior half of the frons, sharply demarcated from the shining black hind half. Occiput mostly shining, frons remarkably short and relatively wide, proboscis much shorter than other species, third antennal long. Mesonotal vestiture short, white, marginal scutellar hairs less than half midlength of scutellum. Knees narrowly but distinctly yellow, tergites all dark, sternites all pale. Wings clear but for a brownish infuscation over middle of first basal cell.

. Noticeably small and short, frons barely longer than width at antennae. Mouth-margin strikingly broad, clearly visible from directly above, convex, about as broad as length of pedicel; shining, undusted. Anterior half of frons clear yellow, the frons laterally with silvery dust spots leaving central thirds shining undusted. The yellow front of the frons sharply demarcated from the shining black hind half, ocellar tubercle and occiput, latter only dusted on occipital “cushions”. Frons narrowest level with hind corners of eyes, broadening anteriorly, lateral ocellus separated from eye margin by about the diameter of that ocellus. Vestiture very short, on ocellar area no longer than distance between lateral ocelli; on black part of frons a group of short, forwardly curved white hairs occupy lateral quarters. Antennae relatively long, scape brown about a little longer than wide, pedicel blackish, brown ventrally, quadrate, third segment black, very narrowly brownish as base, elongate, narrow, longer than width of frons. Proboscis black, hairless, shorter than most species of

), mesonotum and scutellum shining black except for light dusting narrowly on notopleuron and above wing base. Surface conspicuously punctate, although punctures small and simple, separated by their diameter or a little more, with a tendency towards transverse wrinkles in hind part, scutellum decidedly transversely wrinkled. Bare paramedian lines inconspicuous, apparent only on anterior slope of mesonotum. Pleurae predominantly black with a dense covering of grey dust largely obscuring the ground colour; area around anterior spiracle yellow, hind half of anepimeron dull brown to yellow below dust. Mesonotum and scutellum covered with short, arcuate pale yellowish or white hairs, those on disc orientated towards head, those laterally a little longer and orientated towards disc of mesonotum, scutellar hairing similar. Anepisternum and pronotum with hairing similar to that on notopleuron, covering whole sclerite.

A very distinct species with no obvious affinities with any other known species. The very short head and proboscis, long third antennal segment, very broad oral margin and pattern of yellow on head are not found in any other species. The female genitalia also do not suggest any close relationship to other species.
