Figures 4, 10 , 18 , 27 , 32 17 ´W, 400m, vii-1961, K. Lenko leg. Deposited in ABMM.

Description. Male holotype. Head. Labium yellow, genae and base of mandibles yellow, anteclypeus, antefrons and labrum light orange, the latter with a postero-medial dark brown marking; postclypeus orange; upper part of head metallic black with area anterior to median ocellus and occipital bar orange; an orange yellow diagonal band between lateral ocellus and antena; rear of head predominently yellow with a large dorso- posterior triangular black area. Thorax. Pronotum light brown, propleuron whitish yellow, mesopleuron light brown, metapleuron greyish orange. Legs, femora light brown with extensor surfaces dark brown, tibiae yellow, tarsi yellowish brown. Wings hyaline, Px in FW11, in HW 9. R3 arising near Px 6 in FW, Px 5 in HW; anal vein separating from wing margin at distance proximal to CuP that is about twice the length of CuP in both wings; pterostigma yellow surmounting one cell. Abdomen. S1 dorsally orange laterally orange yellow; S2–3 dorsally orange, laterally yellowish orange; S4–7 dorsally dark brown, laterally brownish orange; S8–10 and cercus brownish orange. Proximal half of paraproct orange, distal half brownish orange.

Structural characters. Hind prothoracic lobe smoothly rounded. S 9 in dorsal view dilating distally ( Fig. 32 ). Cercus 1.25 longer than S10, 1.4 longer than paraproct; in lateral view ( Fig. 18 ) with apex notched and ventral medial plate with a basal tooth, lateral plate strongly concave; cercus in medio-dorsal view with oval surface smooth and with a basal and distal tooth ( Fig. 27 ). Paraproct accuminate ( Fig. 18 ). Penis ( Fig. 10 ) as as in T. racenisi ( Fig. 12 ).

Dimensions. Abdomen 23.9; HW 16.5

Description. Female allotype.

Head. As in male except labrum lacks postero-medial dark brown marking in male. Thorax as in male except metapleuron is orange white. Wings hyaline.Px in FW10, in HW 9. R3 arising near Px 6 in FW and near Px 5 in HW. Anal vein separating from wing margin at a distance proximal to Ac that is twice its length in FW and slightly distal to Ac in HW; pterostigma yellow surmounting 4/5 of one cell. Abdomen. S1–2 dorsally orange, laterally greyish orange. S3–10 brownish orange.

Structural characters. Hind prothoracic lobe ( Fig. 4 ) with median lobe on line with the lateral lobes, rectangular with a plate-like dorso-lateral process at each side, lateral lobes well developed.

Dimensions. Abdomen 23.7, HW 18.1

Remarks. Telebasis pareci , forms together with T.lenkoi and T. racenisi a unique complex of Telebasis species that has been discussed under T. lenkoi . Males Keys to M-4 and females to F- 5 in Garrison (2009) and are diagnosed under T. lenkoi .
