Unique within Rogadinae , this species possesses a strongly petiolate (clavate) hind femur. The patchily patterned wings are also diagnostic within the Colastomion - Cystomastax group.
Description.
Length of body 5.4 mm, of forewing 4.0 mm and of antenna 6.8 mm. First flagellomere 1.25 and 1.35 × longer than the 2nd and third respectively, the latter 4 × longer than wide. Width of head: width of face: height of eye = 2.6: 1.0: 1.5. Inter-tentorial distance 3.5 × shortest distance between tentorial pit and eye. Shortest distance between posterior ocelli: transverse diameter of posterior ocellus: shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye = 1.0: 1.7: 1.7. Occiput smooth and shiny. Length of head behind eye 0.35 × length of eye in dorsal view. Lengths of forewing veins r-rs: 3RSa: 3RSb = 1.0: 5.0: 6.5: Forewing vein 1CUb 7.5 × 1CUa. Hind wing vein 1-M 1.15 × M+CU. Hind coxa deeply punctured basodorsally. Lengths of fore femur (excluding trochantellus): tibia: tarsus = 1.0: 1.2: 1.25. Hind tibia 1.3 × hind femur (excluding trochantellus). First tergite 1.6 × longer than maximally wide. Second tergite as long as wide. Third tergite 1.3 × wider than long.
Coloration. Body, scape and pedicel, and hind coxa largely orange brown becoming darker ventrally. Flagellomeres white each with narrow darker apex. Lower part of face, labial and maxillary palps, fore and mid legs white. Hind leg white except swollen part of femur which is dark brown. Forewing grey with clear subapical transverse band and darker apical margin.
