Proepisternum small, flat, largely exposed. Pronotum depressed, transversely rugulose, anterior margin roundly produced but not extended anterad of eyes, lateral margin short, carinate. Exposed part of mesonotum and scutellum depressed, scutellum acuminate. Episternum divided by suture into anepisternum and katepisternum, without processes. Front femur with numerous scattered, poorly undifferentiated setae on dorsal and anterior surface, ventral rows poorly differentiated, AM1 slightly enlarged; tibia slender, dorsal surface flat, longitudinal rows present but poorly differentiated and surfaces of tibia between rows with numerous scattered fine setae, ventral setae scattered and short. Middle leg similar to front leg in shape and chaetotaxy. Hind femur apical macrosetae 2+0; hind tibia compressed, with setal rows PD, AD, AV and PV with 15, 10, 11, and ~53 setae, respectively; with PD and AD closer to each other than distance from AD to AV; PD setae slightly smaller than those of AD; AD macrosetae with bases enlarged but not spinelike, intercalary setae absent; AV extended from basal third to apex; PV setae fine and subequal in length with macrosetae of similar lengths; pecten with single row of macrosetae with spinelike bases, 2 lateral setae longer than 4 medial setae; tarsus ca. 1/3 length of tibia; tarsomere I without dorsoapical pair of setae, ventral setae scattered, pecten with 3 platellae. Forewings elongate, macropterous, with venation poorly delimited, texture glabrous except rugulose near base of clavus; vein R branched in basal 1/3, with 6 branches, 4 extended to costal margin with basal branch arising near midlength, crossvein s present; M with 2 branches; only distal r-m crossvein visible; inner apical cell long, tapered in distal 3/4, not extended to wing apex; CuA connected to submarginal vein slightly distad of apex of clavus; clavus occupying ~3/4 total wing length; appendix absent.

The abdomen is missing except for most of the first and second valvulae of the ovipositor, which are exposed and situated in their original resting position near the apex, beneath the wings. The rest of the exoskeleton is remarkably well preserved, although there is some distortion of the head and thorax due to compression, and the forewing integument has numerous small fractures that appear as white areas and give the specimen the appearance of having reticulate forewing venation. Close examination suggests that only a few of these fractures correspond to veins.</paragraph>
