Redescription. Body yellow with symmetrical dark brown markings; eye brown to black ( Figs 1, 4, 7, 10 , 13, 16, 19, 22 , 25, 28, 31, 34 , 37 ). Pronotum yellow to brownish, with black patches. Mesonotum sordid beige, or yellowish. Face black to yellow ( Figs 2, 5, 8, 11 , 14, 17, 20, 23 , 26, 29, 32, 35 , 38 ). Forewing hyaline, or semitransparent, with symmetrical patches ( Figs 4, 10 , 13, 16, 19, 22 , 31 , 37 ).

Crown slightly longer medially than next to eye, subequal to pronotum in width ( Figs 1, 4, 7, 10 , 13, 16, 19, 22 , 25, 28, 31, 34 , 37 ). Face distinctly convex in lateral view ( Figs 3, 6, 9, 12 , 15, 18, 21, 24 , 27, 30, 33, 36 , 39 ), lorum narrow. Forewing with second apical cell widest and largest; third apical cell subtriangular, RP and MA basally confluent, petiole part subequal to third apical cell in length. Hind wing gradually narrowed apically, but middle of posterior margin expanded ( Figs 4, 10 , 13, 16, 19, 22 , 31 , 37, 40–65 ).

Pygofer side subquadrated, with slender setae consists in two bands; ventral appendage digitiform, and curved dorsad or straight, apex curved posterolaterad; upper lamella (lobe) of pygofer side well separated, with small process bearing stout setae posterodorsad ( Figs 66 , 72 , 79 , 85 , 91 , 98 , 105 , 112 ). Subgenital plate club-shaped, without basal macrosetae ( Dworakowska, 1970). Paramere with subapical tooth present, with row of microsetae at outer margin and sensorial pits on inner margin ( Figs 68 , 74 , 81 , 88 , 93 , 101 , 107, 109 , 115 ). Connective Y-shaped ( Figs 68 , 75 , 81 , 88 , 93 , 102 , 109 , 115 ). Aedeagus with preatrium shorter than shaft, dorsal apodeme well developed; shaft abruptly curved dorsad, apex moderately broad, usually with unpaired ventral process near midlength; gonopore apical ( Figs 70–71 , 77–78 , 83–84 , 89–90 , 95–97 , 103–104 , 110–111 , 116–117 ).
