Redescription. Head. Generally yellow except black spot at frons, near base of antennal insertion and occiput ( Fig. 6C, D View Fig ). Antennae: scape blackish brown to black, pedicel and flagellum dark orange to brown with 42–45 articles, and flagellomeres symmetric disc-like and perfoliate.

Thorax. Prothorax 4.1–4.5 mm long in males, 4.3–4.6 mm long in females, very short, strongly wrinkled, median region of pronotum dorsally concave in lateral view; generally yellow except diagonal black spots on both sides and black stripe at posterior margin ( Fig. 6B, D View Fig ). Meso- and metanotum generally yellow except black spots at left and right ends.

Legs. Foreleg: posterior surface of coxa with proximal one-third region black and the other areas yellow, anterior surface with proximal half and ventral side blackish brown to black, remaining areas dark yellow. Femur with posterior surface generally yellow except two blackish-brown spots at proximal and medial regions, anterior surface blackish-brown except dark yellow spots at proximal, medial and distal regions. Dark yellow femoral major process at proximal one-third of femur length, yellow posteroventral row of processes present on distal two-thirds of femur length. Tibia to tarsus yellow to dark yellow with fine dense setae on inner ridge ( Fig. 6B View Fig ). Mid- and hindlegs: femora generally black except yellow longitudinal stripe at distal one-quarter, tibiae yellow with one small black spot at middle, their tarsi dark yellow, pretarsal claws with four to six apical teeth, arolium present.

Wings. Forewing 23.5–24.5 mm long in males, 20.0– 23.7mm long in females, elongate, anterior half and wing base pale brown, posterior half pale amber, venation brown. Pterostigma dark orange. Media (M) and Radius (R) veins fused along approximately basal one-sixth of wing length and M vein posteriorly retracted to Cubitus Anterior (CuA), forming radial triangle (rt) ( Fig. 6E View Fig ). Hind wing 19.5–21.0mm long in males, 18.5–20.7 mm long in females, elongate, anterior half pale brown, posterior half pale amber, venation brown. Pterostigma dark orange. Cubitus Posterior (CuP) and First anal vein (A1) fused at distal portion ( Fig. 6F View Fig ).

Abdomen. Tergite I entirely yellow. Anterotergite of tergite II generally black with yellow spot at posterior region and posterotergite yellow with a black stripe at posterior margin. Tergites III to VII yellow with black stripe at anterior margin. Tergite VIII entirely yellow. Sternite I generally black exept inverted triangular yellow spot at midline. Sternite II yellow with black stripe at posterior margin. Sternites III to VII yellow with black stripe at anterior margin. Sternite VIII entirely yellow in the male.

Male terminalia ( Fig. 7A–G View Fig ). Ectoproct ellipsoid, covered with fine setae. Ventromedial lobe with short and thick setae. Sternite IX semicircular, apex broadly projected at centre in ventral view, covered with fine setae. Gonostyli X sclerotised, short and thin, spine-like apex, with a pair of small sclerites at base of gonostyli X membrane. Gonocoxites X broad with notch at apex in ventral view. Median lobe of gonocoxites XI acuminate. Hypandrium internum triangular with two concave sides in dorsal view.

Female terminalia ( Fig. 7H–J View Fig ). Gonocoxites VIII narrow, small, setose. Gonapophyses VIII slightly protruding. Ectoproct ellipsoid, covered with thin setae. Gonocoxites IX ellipsoid, covered with thin setae. Spermatheca coiled, base of fertilisation canal duct narrow and strongly curved.
