Etymology
The specific name of the species, staceyi, is in honour of B. J. Stacey, an avid naturalist and citizen science contributor for his contribution to science and being one of the collectors of the species.[2]
Description
The length is about 9 millimeters and the width is about 0.85 millimeters. There are five black ommatidia located in a triangular patch. The labrum does not have hooks. The females are similar to males in nonsexual characteristics.[2]
