The antennae are 15-jointed, slightly clavate, the last few joints very much longer than those toward the base. The eyes are less than their diameter from the lower margin of the head. In color they are paler than the other species, the head above being brown, the rest of the body and legs yellowish; the wings are gray, about as in arizonensis. Length, 8 to mm.
