Diagnosis. A preliminary diagnosis of antennae and wings has been given in Zhang et al. (2014) 1 and is not repeated here. Male ninth tergite in dorsal view with a truncate or arcuate anterior incision and a deeply V- or Ushaped posterior incision, leaving a pair of broad hemitergites, which are obtuse distally and densely haired. Male ninth sternite generally much shorter than ninth tergite. Male ectoproct highly specialized, largely covered by ninth tergite, without callus cerci and any large setae, posteroventrally with a pair of bifid unguiform projections and a pair of short, feebly sclerotized, digitiform projections. Male gonocoxite complexes 9, 10 and 11 comprising two pairs of sclerites (i.e. ninth and tenth gonocoxites) and a transverse sclerite (i.e. gonarcus = eleventh gonocixites); gonarcus laterally connecting to bases of ninth gonocoxites. Hypandrium internum generally trapezoidal, with lateral margins slightly arcuate.
