Morphological Features

Adult body length and wingspan are correlated; wingspan, body length, and forewing length are all positively correlated. The proboscis possesses a bend region approximately one-third of the length from the base. Proboscis sensilla are present and have been studied for functional morphology in flower-probing. No further details on coloration, wing pattern, head, thorax, legs, or abdomen are provided in the evidence.
