( Figs. 43–49 View FIGURES 43 – 49 , 54 View FIGURES 52 – 54 )
Diagnosis. Hypandrium with postero-lateral corners extended posteriorly to form long, slender, acuminate projections; posterior border convex, bearing a dense field of setae ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ). Phallosome with side struts stout, independent, aedagal arms stout, distally pointed; external parameres long, stout, distally with a pointed projection directed outwards; ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ).
Color (in 80% ethanol). Body brown. A creamy area between third ocellus and epistomal sulcus, postclypeus with dark brown bands converging medially. Epiproct centrally membranous ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ), paraprocts dark brown.
Forewing pattern ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ). If the forewing is illuminated from below, the pterostigma shows little black spots ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 52 – 54 A); if the forewing is illuminated from above, the pterostigma appears white ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 52 – 54 B). Hindwings hyaline ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ). Veins brown.
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Compound eyes not reaching the level of the vertex ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ). Pterostigma much wider posteriorly ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ). Paraprocts weakly sclerotized, bearing posteriorly a pointed prong; sensory fields with 25–26 trichobothria in basal rosettes. Epiproct trapeziform, with setae on sides and posterior border ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 43 – 49 ).
