Body. Setae dark red brown, or dark brown to black.
Head. Frons without brown markings except ocellar tubercle. Occiput without brown marks. Frontal setae 3. Orbital setae 1, or 2 (1–2 in holotype, posterior seta weak, may vary). Ocellar seta weak, small or absent. Gena without brown spot. Face without brown markings. Antenna not extended to ventral margin of face.
Thorax. Mesonotum length 3.25–4.25 mm (3.74, n=1). Postpronotal lobe and notopleuron entirely microtrichose. Scutum mostly or entirely microtrichose. Scutellum disc entirely microtrichose. Postpronotal, presutural supra-alar, dorsocentral, intra-alar and scutellar setae well developed, subequal to or longer than scutellum length; postpronotal seta on posterior half of postpronotal lobe. Acrostichal seta well developed. Basal scutellar seta strong, longer than scutellum. Katepisternal seta weak, no larger than postocellar seta. Mesonotum orange, or dark orange; without pale spot or vitta on presutural lateral margin of scutum or posterior part of notopleuron, or with short presutural lateral pale vitta on lateral margin of scutum, not extended onto notopleuron. Scutum presutural dorsocentral pale vitta absent; with 3 (both medial and sublateral) pale postsutural vittae; pale medial vitta narrow posteriorly, not expanded, or with posterior end ovoid (not extended laterally beyond acrostichal seta); pale sublateral postsutural vitta extended posteriorly to intra-alar seta. Scutum posteriorly without brown or orange brown markings. Scutum without brown vittae. Scutellum entirely yellow or with dark markings only on extreme base of disk. Subscutellum yellow to red brown medially, dark brown laterally. Mediotergite yellow to red brown medially, dark brown laterally.
Wings. Wing length 7–9 mm (7.98, n=1). Wing pattern typical Anastrepha pattern (S-band complete or at most interrupted at crossvein r-m, C-band and at least proximal arm of V-band present). C-band broadly extending to vein M in cell br along cell bm; covering base of cell r2+3. C-band and S-band broadly connected along costal margin (connection extending to vein R4+5). Basal hyaline area between C-band and S-band extended to vein R4+5. S-band extended anteriorly to vein R4+5 and covering all of crossvein r-m. Cell bm entirely hyaline or infuscated only along subapical fold. S-band base without extension in middle of cell cu1 to posterior wing margin; without extension in cell a1 to or almost to posterior margin. Subapical hyaline area in radial cells distal to r-m extending anteriorly to vein R2+3. S-band distal section without marginal hyaline band or spots in cell r2+3 or near apices of R2+3 or R4+5. S-band distally not extended to apex of vein M. V-band proximal arm as dark as apical half of S-band; not connected anteriorly to S-band (but extending to vein R4+5 anteriorly); not connected to S-band in cell dm. V-band distal arm absent. Vein R2+3 not sinuous; without accessory vein. Vein R4+5 distal to crossvein r-m more or less evenly curved or not strongly bowed medially. Vein M ratio (distance from bm-cu to r-m/distance from bm-cu to dm-cu) 0.67–0.73 (0.70, n=1). Crossvein dm-cu orientation with anterior end more distal than posterior end.
Abdomen. Abdominal tergite without brown markings. Oviscape straight; length 3.2–4 mm (3.62, n=1); length ratio (oviscape length/mesonotum length) 0.9–1.05 (0.97, n=1). Eversible membrane with dorsobasal denticles all sclerotized, in continuous triangular to semicircular or suboval pattern. Eversible membrane with 20–30 denticles (hooklike dorsobasal denticles in 3–4 irregular rows in subtriangular pattern). Aculeus length 3–3.6 mm (3.29, n=1). Aculeus in ventral view more or less parallel-sided except extreme base. Aculeus tip length 0.37–0.45 mm (0.41, n=1); width 0.13–0.15 mm (0.14); not flared outward at or proximal to base; without ridges or lobes; without elongate dorsolateral depressions apically; with fine serrations, or with medium sized serrations; serrated part 0.4–0.6 times length of tip (0.5). Aculeus tip serrations not extending onto dorsal side basally. Aculeus tip with serrations separated by less than width of serration. Spermathecae sclerotized.
