H of fore wing veins 2M/(RS+M)b: 0.5?.6. Pterostigma length/width: 2.6?.0. Point of insertion of vein r in pterostigma: clearly beyond half way point length of pterostigma. Angle of vein r with fore wing anterior margin: more or less perpendicular to fore wing margin. Shape of junction of veins r and 2RS in fore wing: distinctly but not strongly angled. Male. Unknown. Molecular data. Sequences in BOLD: 12, barcode compliant sequences:12. Biology/ecology. Solitary (Fig. 235).
