The wings are greyish, with pale spots arranged as in the figure; the second radial cell is pale, and the spots in cells m1 and m2 are not cut by wing margin. The male genitalia with prominent lateral processes and the posterior border of the ninth tergite with a deep central notch. The ninth sternite membrane usually bare, vary occasionally with one or two spicules. The female AR is 1.34-1.47; the SD is 3-15.
The figures are from Kremer (1966) (as agathensis).
