Kabakra Dworakowska, 1979

Type-species: Kabakra augusta Dworakowska, 1979

Diagnosis. Body small and robust, color pattern mottled. Vertex with pair of dark semicircular patches near anterior margin and pair of lighter patches beneath them, which forming tadpole-shaped patches. Pronotum with dark patches at anterior margin, central part and two areas at posterior margin grey. Forewing with several smoky patches, three on clavus, three along CuA vein, and two large patches at first and third apical cell. Vertex weakly produced and rounded anteriorly, head with width equal to pronotum, coronal suture indistinct or only visible in basal half. Face short, lower part flattened in side view, male anteclypeus inflated at connection with frontoclypeus and narrowing apically; lorum small. Pronotum with its hind margin almost straight. Scutoscutellar sulcus deeply incised. Forewing with fourth apical cell short, length approximately half the third apical cell, AA and AP vein unconspicuous; hind wing with obvious ambient vein.

Basal abdominal apodemes broad but short.

Male pygofer side well sclerotized except membranous dorso-caudal margin and/or ventro-caudal margin, with several macrosetae at dorsal or caudal margin, one situated at connection of pygofer side with anal tube, others forming row or group, and numerous gracile microsetae at lower basal angle and on ventral lobe; pygofer dorsal appendage solid, not fused to pygofer side; pygofer ventral appendage absent. Subgenital plate broadened basally, setosity consists of various types of setae: about three macrosetae medially or subbasally at ventral margin, several peglike microsetae submarginally on medial dorsum, marginal row of stout microsetae subbasally and rigid microsetae in apical half, and with several microsetae scattered on distal disc. Style with apical part footlike in most species, sometimes slender and elongated, preapical lobe extended, extremely large, with sensory pits caudad of base of its protrusion. Connective with two arms well sclerotized, central lobe semimembranous, with middle of central lobe sclerotized or not. Aedeagus with preatrium and dorsal apodeme well-developed, gonopore terminal or ventral.
