Diagnosis. The holotype deposited in the NHMUK is illustrated in Fig. 10D View FIGURE 10 , with its wing venation ( Fig. 10F View FIGURE 10 ).
Male genitalia ( Figs. 11A – C View FIGURE 11 ). See also Janse (1954, Pl. 142, Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 - line drawing; Pl. 152, Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 - photo). The figure of the male genitalia given by Janse (1954, Pl. 148, Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ) was erroneously placed near those of other species.
