Translated from Latin:

Sordide whitish-straw-coloured, densely and distinctly black-punctured above, dots distantly scattered with brown. Less densely brownish-ferrugineous-punctured underneath, on ventral disc, and on the central line running through thorax and scutellum (tip even smooth). Antennae pale-testaceous, the middle of the third, fourth, and fifth joints brown or black. The lateral edges of the anterior thorax and the costal edge of the corium are immaculate, costal edge of corium smoothed and calloused. Scutellum near the base in the middle brown-spotted. Membrane gray-hyaline, scattered with brown; a small black spot on both sides of the anterior margin of the metasthetia. Connexivium black-spotted. Legs unspotted. The basal spine of the abdomen produced almost to the anterior coxae. The middle lobe towards the top of the head is scarcely enlarged.
