Thorax with rather abundant pubescence not hiding the surface, grayish-white or very pale mouse colour on mesothorax, otherwise white; mesothorax microscopically tessellate, with strong, rather close punctures; metathorax dull, enclosure triangular, ill-defined, with irregular feeble raised lines. Tegulae piceous; wings smoky subhyaline, nervures and stigma dark brown, third submarginal cell narrowed about one half to marginal. Abdomen somewhat depressed, shining, very distinctly punctured; hind margins of the third and fourth segments with entire dense snow-white bands, second segment with a similar band broadly interrupted in the middle, first with only patches of white pubescence at the sides; anal fimbria sooty.
