Diagnosis. Length of male 4.5 mm. General appearance dark brown. Crown 1.5 x longer than basal width between eyes, with apical margin and pair of spots on either side between apex and eyes white; these almost form a transverse band before eyes.

Paraphyses slender, longer than plates, strongly notched on ventral side just before slightly enlarged tips. Aedeagus in lateral view gradually curved dorsally, with shaft and dorsal apodeme creating C shaped space; preatrium length similar to shaft; dorsal apodeme shorter than shaft.
