Antenna yellow orange, scarcely darkened distally; scape cylindrical, about 2.5 times as long as thick; pedicel without dorsal projection; first flagellomere longer than scape, about twice as long as greatest height; style stout. Palpus yellowish gray, slender, with mixed dark and pale hair. Scutum brown with gray as follows: Very slender median stripe; submedian stripe to distinct spot behind transverse suture; humerus and sublateral stripe; pair of crescentic spots on posterior margin; scutellum brown basally, gray posteriorly; pleuron gray.
