Pronotum, fore legs and abdomen with contrasting colour markings. Body pilose.</p><p>Colouration and vestiture: Body in general of light colour, dull, with some pattern of dark areas, as illustrated in Figs 4, 5, 6. Forewings translucent pale brown, veins dark brown (Fig. 8 a).</p><p>Entire body, except wings, covered with short adpressed setae and long, often curved ‘ hairs’ which are dark brown, pale brown or white depending on colour of body in that area. Mid- and hind legs are more pilose than rest parts.</p><p>Structure: Head elongate fusiform, almost as long as anterior lobe of pronotum; anteocular slightly longer than postocular, clypeus slightly raised above level of mandibular plates. Eyes large, globular but not reaching dorsal or ventral margin of head in lateral view; interocular furrow oblique, situated closer to posterior border of eye, and surpassing it posteriorly, deep. Labium with first two visible (actual II and III) labiomeres or segments stout, third visible (actual IV labiomere) slender; strongly bent between visible first and second labiomeres, second visible reaching middle of eye as seen laterally (Figs 5 c, d, 6 b). Antennae inserted at middle of anteocular region, with first two segments very long, third and fourth short and slender, third shortest.</p><p>Pronotum completely covering mesonotum, anterior lobe wide behind head and strongly narrowed, almost parallel sided in posterior half; posterior lobe bell-shaped, its posterior margin elevated and slightly emarginate in middle (Figs 5 a, b, 6).</p><p>Fore legs slender considering size of insect, with usual two series of spiniferous processes on ventral side of femur: anteroventral (AVS) and posteroventral (PVS) series. PVS beginning close to base of femur, with 10 long (almost as long as width of femur) spiniferous processes with their bases as long as setae and several medium and small processes in between long processes; AVS beginning slightly in front of first PVS process, not interrupted, with many medium and short spiniferous processes, none as long as any PVS process. Fore tibia shorter than femur, slightly curved, with one series of small but robust spiniferous setae. Fore tarsus very short, about one-tenth of tibia, three segmented; claws unequal, outer one with 6 short comb-like, sub-basal processes (Figs 6 a, b, 8 b, c). Mid- and hind legs thin, long, their tarsi short, three segmented; claws very small, delicate, curved.</p><p>Forewings broad, passing beyond apex of abdomen, with sub-basal cell and with free vein emanating from Cu (Fig. 8).</p><p>Abdomen slender, almost parallel sided, slightly dilated in genital region. In male seventh tergite slightly raised above in middle; eighth segment visible from lateral as well as ventral side. Pygophore cup like, convex ventrally, not covered over dorsally, somewhat longer than high, with sharp superoposterior spine, this spine is surrounded on its sides by curved, criss-crossing parameres (Fig. 7 a – c) Superoposterior spine appears to originate from inner surface of posterior wall of pygophore; in addition, a blunt tubercle at base of long spine becomes visible after KOH treatment (Fig. 7 d – f). Uneverted phallus symmetrical, with stout articulatory apparatus; phallosoma narrow, slightly broad at base and narrowed apically, more sclerotized in distal half. Endosoma appears simple, membranous, with some granular area near apex (Fig. 7 g). Parameres curved in distal third, pointed at apex, with long setae in distal half (Fig. 7 h).</p><p>Images of syntype / allotype female of this species, which is preserved at NHM, London, are also presented here (Fig. 9).</p><p>Measurements.</p><p>Based on one male; all measurements are in mm.</p><p>Total body length from apex of head to tip of forewing 18.5.</p><p>Head: total head length laterally (including ‘ neck’) 1.95, length of anteocular region 0.8, of postocular region 0.5, eye diameter 0.5, head width dorsally 1.2, interocular distance 0.6.</p><p>Antenna: length of scape 12.5, pedicel 12.5, basiflagellomere 1.1, distiflagellomere 2.0.</p><p>Labium: length of visible labiomere I 0.75, of visible labiomere II 0.6, of visible labiomere III 0.8.</p><p>Pronotum: dorso-median length 4.0 (2.1 ant. lobe + 1.9 post. lobe), width at anterior angles 0.85, minimum width 0.55, width at humeral angles 2.0; forewing length 14.0.</p><p>Legs: fore leg- length of coxa 3.75, of femur 8.0, of tibia 6.2, of tarsus with claw 0.65; mid leg- length of coxa 0.85, of femur 14.50, of tibia 24.0, of tarsus with claw 0.55; hind leg- length of coxa 0.85, of femur 20.0, of tibia 30.5, of tarsus with claw 0.55.</p><p>Some important proportions of body are: head almost as long as anterior lobe of pronotum; anterior and posterior lobes of pronotum are equal in length; overall pronotum is twice as long as wide at humeral angles; antennae much longer than body; first and second antennomeres are of equal length.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/799D02BD1C1F5D30A89BD11211501A12	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
