Morphological Features

Female body length (without ovipositor) 3.4–3.5 mm (type material), varying from 2.6 to 3.5 mm in other specimens; male body length 2.0–3.5 mm. Head rounded, about 1.2× as wide as long in dorsal view. Antennal scape elongate, 1.2× as long as combined length of pedicel, anellus and first two funicular segments; male funicular segments about twice as long as wide. Pronotum and mesonotum pale yellow with indistinct red-brownish longitudinal stripes; metanotum and scutellum darker, orange to red-brownish. Scutellum elongate, 1.4× as long as broad, anterior part with cross-striae tending to reticulation, frenal area with longitudinal carinae. Forewing stigma large, oval (1.2–1.3× as long as wide); costal cell with 3–4 rows of setae in apical 1/2 to 2/3; basal cell with more than 5 setae; upper part of stigmal vein short, 0.2× as long as stigma length. Ovipositor sheaths much shorter (0.5×) than body, about 0.6× as long as gaster and thorax combined, 1.1× as long as gaster; distal part of dorsal valve with third median tooth enlarged. Pilosity pale on lower face, black on remainder of head. Males highly variable: pale forms mostly yellow with forewing stigma without infuscation, dark forms mostly black with infuscated stigma. Aedeagus truncated, digitus with three teeth.
