Description. Female. Metatibia color (outer face): entirely or mostly (>0.7 metatibia
length) dark brown to black, with yellow to white coloration usually restricted
to anterior 0.2 or less. Fore wing veins color: veins C+Sc+R and R1 with brown coloration
restricted narrowly to borders, interior area of those veins and pterostigma
(and sometimes veins r, 2RS and 2M) transparent or white; other veins mostly transparent.
