Paraphysis (Fig. 14 I), in lateral view, directed posterodorsally, curved dorsally, reaching pygofer apical third; dorsal and ventral margins subparallel, dorsal margin with a small dentate process basally, apex subacute; in dorsal view (Fig. 14 J), lateral margins with small reentrances preapically. Other features as in generic description. — Female genitalia: Sternite VII (Figs 13 D, 15 A – C), in ventral view, almost 2.2 × wider than long, posterior margin with a distinctly acute median lobe.

5E9DDE8DBCD458238A9E5CF75395B708.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Coloration pale-yellow (Fig. 29 E, F) to brown (females and rarely males) (Fig. 18) or black (males) (Figs 16, 17 A – C), with R + M and base of CuP veins yellow. Aedeagus (Fig. 17 G, H) with shaft strongly protuberant, forming a preapical lobate process on dorsal margin, directed apically.

5E9DDE8DBCD458238A9E5CF75395B708.taxon	description	Description. Measurements: Total length: males (n = 11) 3.2 – 3.7 mm, females (n = 6) 3.9 – 4.3 mm. — Head and Thorax: Crown (Figs 17 A, B, 18 A, 29 E), in dorsal view, from slightly to moderately produced, anterior margin from broadly rounded to subtriangular.
