The new species differs from described species from India in having pronotum distinctly carinate, maxillary palpi black in colour, antennae with pedicel almost 1.5 times longer than anelli and first funicle segment combined, the latter smaller than second funicle segment, post marginal vein shorter than the marginal, about 1.42 times that of the stigmal.
