A small black species with reddish or orangey-brown legs that, from most of the photos I've seen, settles with its wings raised. The antennae of the males are dark brown to black, whereas those of the females are much lighter. The female has a very short, barely visible, ovipositor.

Dyspetes luteomarginatus could be confused with Dyspetes arrogator except that the two species fly at different times of the year, with the latter earlier on in May and June and the featured species here more likely to be seen in August and September.
