Description

The males of the species are 3.45–3.90 millimetres (0.136–0.154 in) long, with an average of 3.68 millimetres (0.145 in). Their genitalia have a bit longer pygophore. Females are smaller than males, ranging from 3.03–3.88 mm (0.119–0.153 in) with an average of 3.47 mm (0.137 in). Both sexes are elongated, and have near rectangular lobes. Their aedeagus have short shafts, which are cylindrical in shape. They are pale stramineous or ivory-coloured. Their clypeus have a series of transverse bands, which are pale brown in colour. They have two rounded vertices, one of which is located on the top of the apex and has two spots on it. The other is on the anterior margin, closer to the ocellus, which is dark brown in colour. Sometimes they have two longitudinal bands which are pale orange coloured and are located on top of the disc. Their pronotum have three longitudinal bands and are a little bit longer than vertex. They are also the same colour and are located on both sides of midline. Their clypellus is parallel, and has a margin that is adjacent to its gena, which is a bit wider than ocellucular part. The ocelli themselves are separated from the eyes by one diameter. The ventral margin is extended over the gonopore and is narrow.
