Body densely scaly, the propodeum with a median carina only, sub- glabrous. Venation sooty, the very long marginal vein silvery white. Fore wing broadening distad, about thrice longer than wide at its truncate apex, its apical marginal cilia somewhat less than half the greatest width? the discal ciliation absent except on the infuscations; the thick longitudinal stripe originates at caudal margin opposite the base of the marginalvein and runs straight into the middle of the first cross-stripe which is across from the apex of the marginal and all of the post marginal veins (with the stigma1 in its middle) ; first cross-stripe somewhat narrower than the second which is at apex, the hyaline space between them equal to the second cross-stripe. Stigma1 and postmarginal veins subequaly not very short, the first at right angles to the marginal. Funicle joints equal, twice wider than long; pedicel very large, longer than the funicle.
