It is distinguished from the other three representatives of the genus Daerlac in Australia by the combination of a disti ctly three-coloured corium, without dark spot at the otherwise cream coloured tip, evenly brownish membrane (without paler area at the apex and mostly orange-brown legs with a dark patch medially in the front femora. The antennae are usually paler at the base (not always!) and ant.1 carries a distinct paler sripe on the inside (rarely absent).There is some variation in colour pattern with confusingly coloured specimen on the extremes (refer to description in Cassis & Symonds (2012).
