Diagnosis.
Vei n R s 1 short, nearly as long as vein Rs2; vein R2+3 arising slightly proximal of base of cell d; vein R2+3 ending at vein R1 far before wing margin; crossvein r-m located at basal 1/3 of cell d; mouth of cell r1 narrow, about 1/4 as wide as that of cell r4; mouth of cell m1 narrower than that of cell m2.
Etymology.
The specific name refers to the

Description.
Body length 8.0 mm; wing length
7.8 mm
, wing width
2.5 mm
.
Head round in lateral view, slightly narrower than thorax. Eyes large, bare; ommatidia visible clearly.
Thorax black. Middle and hind femora long, slightly swollen; hind tibia slender. Wing elongate, hyaline. Vein C ending at wing tip; veins C and R1 markedly thick; vein Sc long, extending far beyond middle of wing. Ve in R 1 long and robust; vein Rs1 short, nearly as long as vein Rs2; vein R2+3 arising slightly proximal of base of cell d; vein R2+3 ending at vein R1 far before wing margin; vein R4 short, convergent to vein R1; vein R5 ending far beyond apex of wing, relative lengths of vein R5 and vein Rs3 about 3: 5. Crossvein r-m located at basal 1/3 of cell d. Vein M3 absent, vein CuA1 arising from cell d. Cell sc wide open, mouth of cell sc about 3 times as wide as that of cell r4, mouth of cell r1 narrow, about 1/4 as wide as that of cell r4. Cell d wide, mouth of cell m1 narrower than that of cell m2.
Abdomen slender, cylindrical. Three segments visible. Segment I evidently short.

antiquus
sp. nov.
in the following aspects: vein R2+3 ending at vein R1 far before wing margin; veins R4 and R5 short; base of cell d sharp. However, we can easily separate it from
antiquus
by vein Rs1 short, nearly as long as vein Rs2; vein R2+3 arising slightly proximal of base of cell d; crossvein r-m located at basal 1/3 of cell d; veins M distinctly long; mouth of cell r1 about 1/4 as wide as that of cell r4; mouth of cell m1 narrower than that of cell m2. In
antiquus
, vein Rs1 is long, about twice as long as vein Rs2; vein R2+3 is arising slightly distal of the base of cell d; crossvein rm is nearly located at middle of cell d; the branches of vein M are distinctly short; the mouth of cell r1 is about 1/2 as wide as that of cell r4; the mouth of cell m1 is nearly as wide as that of cell m2.
