Description. Adult. Coloration. Ochreous; clavus brown, remigium lighter.
Structure. Body, in dorsal view, narrowly ovoid. Head slightly indented in middle of fore margin, each half of fore margin slightly convex; anterior rim indistinctly delimited from membrane; areolae, in longitudinal body axis, relatively short; eyes weakly recessive; hind margin of eye and postero-lateral margin of head forming an evenly rounded depression. Pronotum with poorly defined median longitudinal ridge, weakly, irregularly punctate posteriorly and postero-laterally. Paranota relatively small, angular anteriorly and posteriorly, with weakly curved lateral margins; punctate postero-ventrally. Tegmen with vein M reduced basally, basal radial cell rarely with additional veins in apical half of vein M+CuA. Male and female terminalia as in Figs. 29 View FIGURES 21 – 33 , 36, 43 View FIGURES 34 – 47 , 50, 57 View FIGURES 48 – 61 , 66, 67 View FIGURES 62 – 73 . Male anal tube broadly oval, in dorsal view, widest in basal third, with weakly curved lateral margins. Pygophore with comparatively long and narrow median posterior tooth; postero-lateral edges distinctly angular. Parameres long, subacute apically. Aedeagus, in anterior view, with narrowly rounded head distally which is slightly narrowed subapically, and subquadrate antero-proximal lobes; posterior outline of neck, in profile, sinuous; spines on neck absent. Female tergite 9 with ventral margin weakly curved in apical third. Ventral teeth of valvulae 1 conspicuously large.
Measurements and ratios in Tables 1 and 2.
Fifth instar ( Fig. 76 View FIGURES 74 – 79 ). Anterior head margin weakly convex or almost straight. Posterior lobes of abdominal segment 9 stout, blunt apically; ventrite 9 covered with microscopical spinules in addition to setae; rear margin of male genital capsule, in ventral view, ending medially more distally than laterally ( Fig. 82 View FIGURES 80 – 85 ). Measurements and ratios in Table 3 View TABLE 3 .
Etymology. From Greek γωνɩος = angular and ωμος = shoulder, referring to the angular paranotal lobes.
