Description
Adults' body length including the forewings, is 3.5–4.2 mm for males and 4-4.5 mm for females. The forewing length is 3–3.6 mm for males and 3.5–4 mm for females. The head is short, with the eyes distinctly narrower than the pronotum. The vertex has two widely separated triangular posterolateral areolets. The frons is longer than its widest part, and longer than the clypeus medially. In males, the anal segment in dorsal view has nearly parallel lateral margins, each with a finger-like lateroapical process. The aedeagus is short, broad, flattened, and apically strongly deflexed. The genital styles are angulately curved at the middle.
Range & habitat
Nisia nervosa has a wide distribution across South, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East (including the United Arab Emirates and Israel), Iran and Africa.
