Siphunculi, cauda and genitalia dark brown. Body elongate and small, mean length 2.0 mm. Antenna 6 segmented, 0.54–0.64 of body length. Longest antennal segment (ant segm.) is segm. III. Ant. segm. IV almost as long as segm. V. Segm. V slightly shorter than or equal to segm. VI. Processus terminalis (VIb) very short, only about 0.12–0.15 as long as basal part of segm. VI (VIa). Other antennal ratios: VI/III 0.43–0.45; VI/IV 0.86–1.09; VI/V 0.91– 1.0; V/III 0.44–0.49; V/IV 0.94–1.08; IV/III 0.40–0.52. Segm. V and VI bear primary rhinaria. Ant. segm. III with 29–33 secondary rhinaria, IV with 5–9, V with 2–4. Secondary rhinaria rounded, their size variable about 0.009–0.0206 mm; mean 0.0143 mm. Rostrum long, reaching to abdominal segment VII; length of apical rostral segments 0.76–0.82 times hind tarsus (HT) II and 0.41–0.47 times ant. segm. III. Siphunculus is a brown pigmented cone with about 30–35 hairs around. Cauda short and rounded.

Chaetotaxy: base of ant. segm. VI with 12 setae; VIb with 3 subapical setae. Rostrum with 6 accessory setae. Longest hair on ant. segm. III 0.1410–0.1450 mm long; that on the hind tibia 0.1810–0.1930 mm.
