Pale yellowish red, thoracic notum hardly darker, antennae brownish, wings 

 almost hyaHne, faintly infuscate, stigma with dark basal spot; veins pale. 

 Head broad, with few erect bristly hairs; antennae minutely hairy, about two 

 thirds the length of the wing. Wings narrow, tip broadly rounded; stigma 

 slender; radial sector forks before end of stigma, the fork being longer than the 

 pedicel; median vein with short branches toward tip: median and radial 

 sector meet at one point. 



Length 1.7 mm. 



In general similar to P. calif ornicus, but smaller, and lacks dark 

 spots at ends of veins, and fork of radial sector much longer, and 

 median forks farther out than in that species.

 united for a distance equal to the width of the stigma; also about as far in the 

 hind wing.
