Fore wing vein 3-SR 2 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.5 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.4 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.05 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu absent. Hind coxa strongly transversely striated on posterior half, basally striate only dorso-medially. Apex of hind tibia without a comb of modified setae medially.
