Fig. 13

Material. Holotype PIN 2555 /2228, right tegmen, Dzhailoucho. Paratypes PIN 2240 / 2746, 2555/2762, 2785/3238, tegmina, Dzhailoucho; PIN 2971/181±, tegmen, Madygen (SW area).

Description. Tegmen moderately elongate, usually not widening distally, broadly rounded apically, 7.7–12.4 mm long, pale, with dark spot in stigmal area. Surface faintly, sparsely punctate, more distinctly so at base and on clavus. Costal margin convex proximally, straight distally; costal space moderately broad. RA beyond nodus diverging from margin, some of anterior RA branches deeply forked. R forked before tegmen midlength, CuA usually more distally, M just before or beyond nodal crossveins, RP and CuA1 at same level or more distally than M (rarely more proximally – PIN 2785/3482). Space between CuA1 and CuA2 more or less narrowed at nodal level. CuA2 shorter than CuA1, simple or with short branches. RP, M, and CuA altogether with 15–19 terminations. Margin crimpled in stigmal area.

Etymology. After entomologist John W. Evans.
