Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, the species exhibits a robust, somewhat flattened thorax and abdomen.[1] The coloration includes metallic or iridescent tones, particularly on the posterior segments of the abdomen, which are often reflective.[1] The wings are typically held flat over the abdomen when at rest, a common trait among many stratiomyids.[1]
