Diagnosis. Head yellowish brown to dark brown; pronotum yellowish brown with pair of dark brown vittae on lateral margins; wing hyaline with obscure brownish marks, median transverse band rather broad; male tenth sternum in lateral view with apex strongly inflated, in ventral view with basal margin with V–shaped incision. Male. Body length 17–31 mm ; forewing length 35–39 mm , hindwing length 31–35 mm . Head yellowish brown to dark brown. Compound eyes brown, ocelli pale yellow with black inner margin. Antenna dark.

Forewing with a short brown stripe proximal and distal to pterostigma, and with one brown mark on proximal costal area; proximal marks small and sometimes obscure; median transverse band broad and sometimes faded, extending from C to M; distal marks mostly connected with each other, much paler or absent. Hindwing similarly marked, but with proximal half hyaline. Veins brown. Rs four–branched, R 2 distally three–branched, three crossveins between R 1 and Rs; M two–branched; 1A two– branched. Abdomen dark. Tenth tergum ( Figs. 32, 34 ) in lateral view subquadrate with rounded distal margin; in dorsal view strongly inflated distally. Tenth sternum ( Figs. 32–33 ) strongly sclerotized; in ventral view broad, with proximal margin V–shaped and with tip slightly incised; in lateral view slightly curved dorsad, strongly inflated in distal half.
