Description
Macropterous male. Coloration. Body dorsally bluish-black to black with milky white to yellowish markings, ventrally paler (Fig. 1a–c). Ventral surface of head (Figs 1c, 2c), one small round spot of vertex, ocellus (Figs 1a, 2a), one distinct annular marking of subapical part of first antennal segment (Fig. 1a–c), coxae, trochanters (Figs 1c, 2c), three faint annular markings of basal, median and apical parts of fore and mid femora (Figs 1, 2d, e), one distinct annular marking of median part and two faint markings of basal and apical parts of hind femera (Figs 1, 2f), one faint marking of basal part and one distinct marking of subapical part of fore and mid tibiae (Figs 1, 2d, e), one distinct annular marking of subapical part and one small marking of subbasal part of hind tibiae (Fig. 2f), sterna of pro- and metathoraxes (Figs 1c, 2c), sterna of abdomen (except connexivum and lateral margins) (Fig. 1c), and markings of posterior margins of connexival segments, milky white to yellowish (Fig. 1). Structure. Body of medium size, somewhat flattened dorsoventrally (Fig. 1). Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs covered with white short bent procumbent pubescence and sub-erect setae; first antennal segment sparsely clothed with erect setae, second to fourth segments densely clothed with procumbent pubescence; fore femur and tibia ventrally clothed with dense short setae (Figs 1, 2). Head width subequal to or slightly shorter than length; interocular space more than 2× interocellar space; rostrum robust, first segment subequal to second and third segments together in length (Fig. 2b, c). Anterior pronotal lobe basally centrally sulcate and laterally with shallow arc-shaped glabrous area; middle part of posterior pronotal lobe somewhat concaved; lateral pronotal angles acutely produced, short (Figs 1a, 2a). Fore wing surpassing abdominal tip by 0.7 mm (Fig. 1).
Male genitalia. Pygophore oblong, median pygophore process bifid with acute angles (Fig. 3a, b); paramere clavate, slightly curved, middle part twisted (Fig. 3a–c); basal plate of phallobase longer and thicker than basal plate bridge, pedicel short (Fig. 3d, e). Phallosome elliptical (Fig. 3e–g); dorsal phallothecal sclerite well sclerotized, apical part concave, lateral arm subequal to strut in length (Fig. 3e); apical part of endosome armed with a pair of leaflike sclerites (Fig. 3e, f).

Length of abdomen 7.2; maximum width of abdomen 4.2.
Distribution
