Paratype [male], Body length: 69, head: 2.5, antennae: 59, pronotum: 2, mesonotum: 12, metanotum including median segment: 8, profemora: 18, mesofemora: 12, metafemora: 18.5, protibiae: 17.5, mesotibiae: 11, metatibiae: 20, tegmina: 2, alae: 32.
The occurrence of branchiae with two branches start in chaetiger 44, as can be seen with
paratype MNHNCL ANN-15020 (Table 1), before the general observed start between chaetigers 70-87; in
paratype MNHNCL ANN-15019 the occurrence of branchiae with three branches is in chaetiger 88, before the general observed start between chaetigers 110-160.
