Wholly dirty brown with minute darker brown dots, except the underside of abdomen orange yellow and the posterior tibiae red ; hind femora with one or two rather large light brown patches outside. Wings about half as long as the abdomen. The male is much narrower than the female ; the wing covers are broad and extend nearly to the tip of the abdomen ; hind wing very small ; the antennre are considerably longer than those of the female.
