Females clearly distinguished by white face spots and striking white fringes of T 1. Distal depression of T 2 laterally with ciliar bands. Maxillary palps shorter or as long as flagellomeres 1–5. Males are characterized by the white mask and white fringes on T 1. Tibiae 1 with white stripe, tibiae 2 sometimes with white stripe. Omaulus rounded in males and females.

Head. HL: HW 0.84–0.91 (0.88), UFW: LFW 1.79–1.99 (1.89). Colouration: Antennae except the ventral part of flagellum black; pedicellus and apical flagellomere rarely completely black. Hairs white to brownish; dense dorsal pilosity of scapes as long as width of scape, pilosity below antennal sockets half the length of pilosity above antennal sockets, single hairs on vertex as long as spur of tibiae 2. Mask (Fig. 38 A): White colouration of clypeus and paraocular areae quite uniform, flecks of paraocular areae mostly starting distinctly higher than the lower edge of clypeus, terminating at lower level of antennal sockets, often with middle tip reaching upper level of antennal socket or beyond it [71 / 92], paraocular patches rarely start first at anterior tentorial pit. Pale colouration of supraclypeal area strongly reduced, consisting sometimes only of two little white spots [15 / 92], or totally black [6 / 92].
