The species solitaria may be readily recognized owing to the unusual bristling of the hind tibiae. The true posterodorsal and apical mid dorsal bristles are absent and the dorsal surface has a bristle at middle. In general habitus the species may be linked to the inter secta-suhgroup. The processes in male appear as weakly chitinized lamellate appendages, which are bare except for a fringe of setulae along the greater part of inner border and a few bristles at extreme base on outer border. In the female the caudal margin of last segment of ovipositor has a series of stiff short bristles.
