Diagnosis. General coloration pink; disc of crown with dark subtriangular spot; clypeus with dark spot on the basal region; forewings dark, with some scattered yellow spots on vertex and costal margin; anal veins separate, slightly close in their mean length. Male: subgenital plates short and triangular; aedeagus with four ventral processes: pair of sharp basal processes extending laterally, and pair of divergent apical processes united at base.
Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view (Fig. 14), with lateral margins slightly parallel, lateroposterior margins rounded, and posterior margin with shallow median concavity, whose edges have a small prominence, keeled on its outer side; surface with numerous scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, slightly produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae, and a few macrosetae on posterior region of disc. First valvifers, in lateral view, oval; with small spiniform processes on anterior region and microsetae on posterior margin. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear or slightly broadened beyond basal curvature; dorsal sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed by scalelike processes arranged irregularly; apex acute (Fig. 34), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear; dorsal margin of blade bearing 25 to 26 noncontiguous teeth, each tooth subtriangular, declivous posteriorly, with denticles on posterior margin (Fig. 54); ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex rounded (Fig. 74), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; slight preapical ventral prominence. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with a few apical setae; apex rounded.
