Description:
The primary distinguishing features of adult specimens (6-8 mm) include the forewings characterized by single intercalary veins and the absence of hindwings. The body exhibits an orange-yellowish coloration with rust-colored circular spots on the abdomen. In males, the eyes are turbinate, widening from medium to large in an upward direction, while females have compound eyes adorned with two brown longitudinal bands. Male genitalia feature thin forceps, where the basal segment is whitish and notably shorter than the second; these segments are well-separated from the third, which has a small spur at its base. The penis is a cone bent backward, exhibiting stronger sclerotization on the ventral side, attached to the body with two arms that allow for back-and-forth movement. Terminal filaments in both sexes are clear with black rings.
