This is a small species a little larger than synodica, with the wings 

 not qutie as transparent as usual, which is also the case in synodica. 



Head not quite as broad as the front margin of the pronotum ; front 

 rather prominent. Median sulcus of the front well defined. Pronotum with 

 the humeral angles rounded and the anterior angles rather prominent. Last 

 ventral segment with the base about as long as the sides, which gradually 

 converge to the truncate extremity. Uncus when viewed in profile sinuated

but not hooked at the end ; when viewed from above evenly curved and nar- 

 rowed to the extremity which is notched. The last ventral segment in the 

 female allotype is doubly notched. Venation of both pairs of wings yellowish, 

 the costal margin of the fore wings a little darker beyond the radial cell ; 

 basal cell yellowish and translucent. The membranes at the base of both 

 pairs of wings are orange-red in color. Dorsum partly clothed with short 

 golden hairs especially on the abdomen along the posterior margin of the 

 segments ; beneath the pubescence is short. Head black with all of the 

 grooves and supra-antennal plates testaceous, beneath black in the region of 

 the transverse rugae, which are margined with testaceous ; rostrum pale at 

 base. Pronotum black variegated each side, especially in the grooves with 

 pale, and margined all around, except for a short space at humeral angles 

 with testaceous. Mesonotum black, with the hind margin, the elevated X, 

 two spots at the anterior extremities of the X, and the posterior part of the 

 W-mark, testaceous. Metanotum black, posteriorly margined with testaceous. 

 Tergum black, the segments narrowly edged posteriorly with testaceous.
