Description. Adult. Coloration. Brown to dark brown with light areas on anterior rim of head and humeri, sometimes also along veins basally and in apical two-thirds; clavus dark brown to black like remainder of remigium. Newly emerged adults dirty whitish to yellowish.
Structure. Body, in dorsal view, broadly ovoid. Head with strongly curved fore margin; anterior rim comparatively well delimited from membrane; areolae, in longitudinal body axis, relatively long; eyes strongly recessive; hind margin of eye and postero-lateral margin of head forming an obtuse angle or evenly rounded depression. Pronotum with distinct median longitudinal ridge, smooth posteriorly and postero-laterally. Paranota relatively large with widely curved margins; smooth postero-ventrally. Tegmen with vein M reduced basally, basal radial cell without faint additional veins in apical half of vein M+CuA. Male and female terminalia as in Figs. 31 View FIGURES 21 – 33 , 38, 45 View FIGURES 34 – 47 , 52, 59 View FIGURES 48 – 61 , 70, 71 View FIGURES 62 – 73 . Male anal tube conical, in dorsal view, widest in basal quarter, evenly narrowing to apex. Pygophore with comparatively short and narrow median posterior tooth; postero-lateral edges indistinctly angular. Parameres short, blunt apically. Aedeagus, in anterior view, with narrowly rounded head distally, narrowed subapically, and subquadrate antero-proximal lobes; posterior outline of neck, in profile, with distinct angle; spines on neck long, coarse and numerous. Female tergite 9 with ventral margin distinctly indented near middle. Ventral teeth of valvulae 1 small.
Measurements and ratios in Tables 1 and 2.
Fifth instar ( Fig. 78 View FIGURES 74 – 79 ). Anterior head margin strongly convex. Posterior lobes of abdominal segment 9 stout, blunt apically; ventrite 9 covered with setae but lacking microscopical spinules; rear margin of male genital capsule, in ventral view, ending medially more distally than laterally ( Fig. 84 View FIGURES 80 – 85 ). Measurements and ratios in Table 3 View TABLE 3 .
Etymology. From Greek μέτωπον = forehead and ογĸος = swelling, referring to the inflated fore margin of the head.
