  ## Description
  
  Adult flies are medium to small for crane flies, with a body typically 7-8mm in length. The body is mostly dark brown, though the abdomen exhibits alternating dark brown and tannish-yellow striping. Between the mesonotal prescutum and the scutum there is a V-shaped suture distinctive to all Limoniinae. Wings show pale brown clouds in basal cells, along with a number of darkened patches, including three notably visible patches near the tip of the wing. Legs are brown with pale yellow joints.
