Diagnostic description.

T 1 slightly broadening towards posterior margin, its length 1.2 × its width at posterior margin; T 1 almost entirely covered by coriaceous sculpture; T 2 comparatively less transverse, its width at posterior margin 3.0 × its central length; T 2 mostly covered by longitudinal sculpture, but with two smoother, small areas near anterior margin centrally; pterostigma mostly yellow-white but with thin brown margins; procoxa yellow, meso- and metacoxae black; profemur yellow, mesofemur mostly yellow but with dark brown to black bands ventrally and dorsally for most of femur length, metafemur mostly dark brown to black, only with small area yellow (ventral and dorsal dark bands are so large that cover most of femur length); all tibia and tarsi dark brown to black; all sternites yellow, hypopygium yellow on anterior 0.5, dark brown on posterior 0.5; body length: 4.00 mm; fore wing length: 4.50 mm. The shape and sculpture of T 1 and T 2, pterostigma color, large body size and the rather unique coloration of legs and hypopygium are unique to this species and allow its clear recognition.
