Distinctly larger than the typical rothneyi, which measures only 1.7- 1.8 mm. Head scarcely longer than broad (l lj6longer than broad in rothneyi) and with somewhat smaller eyes (13 to 15 facets, instead of about 20). Head and thorax rich ferruginous red; appendages, abdomen and sides and declivity of epinotum clear brownish yellow.
