Prothorax: pronotum yellowish. Metathorax and mesothorax: with the same color as the head. Elytra: elytral integument reddish-brown. Four large rectangular pale maculae visible; two maculae at the proximal portion of the elytra, reaching the base of the elytra, two maculae at the distal portion of the elytra reaching the margin of the elytra. Scutellum: triangular, posterior portion rounded. Legs: dark brown to black.

Abdomen: dark brown. Male Aedeagus Median lobe (Fig. 19): apical hood acuminated. Ventral sclerite visible in dorsal view; longer than the sides of the median lobe; apex acuminated, short and wide. Dorsal median process visible; proximal portion of the dorsal median process narrower than the apex; two forked thin projections at the apex, “horseshoe-shaped”, base of the projections with subequal width to the apex. Dorsal lateral sclerites visible, subtriangular. Oblique dorsal processes ventrally curved; apex acuminated in dorsal view. Female Tignum (Fig. 24): base and apex with subequal width; hood-like structure in the median portion present (Fig. 4), median portion with parallel margins; distal portion with divergent margins, goblet-like.
