Description.
Adult: Forewing (
Fig. 14
) long and slender, posterior margin regularly convex. Pterostigmatic area without crossveins; vein MP
2
very short, and free; cubital field with
2 intercalary
veins. Hind wing (
Fig. 15
) minute with costal process acute and located almost at apex of wing; a single simple longitudinal vein. Claws of all legs dissimilar. Dorsal margin of hind femora concave. Subanal plate of female almost straight. Gill socket vestiges visible on segments II–IV. Terminal filament absent.
Nymph (
Fig. 147
): Body flattened, eyes in dorsal position blackish in male nymphs; outer margin of head fringed with a row of forked setae from behind eyes to labrum insertion. Labrum with a single row of simple setae (
Fig. 24
). Galea-lacinia with 2 setae on ventral side (
Fig. 46
). Forefemora broad and dilated with a transverse row of setae on dorsal face (Fig. 75). Hind femora with a distinct concave outer margin (
Fig. 147
). Gills on abdominal segments II–IV (Figs. 95–97); gills II–III with ventral lobes, gill IV without ventral lobe and entire (not incised), gill III incised. Abdominal carina (median tubercles on terga), poorly developed. Posterolateral expansions very well developed on segments VI–IX. Lateral margins of terga with very long and thin setae. Terminal filament absent.
Egg: rounded, chorion without attachment structures, one polar cap, no triangular or polygonal structures at the base of the cap (
Figs. 115–119
).
Diagnosis.
Derlethina
winged stages can easily be told from
Teloganodes
and
Dudgeodes
by the shape of the hindwing, the absence of crossvein in the pterostigmatic area of the forewing, and the shape of the hind femur; the nymphal stage is distinguished by the absence of gill V and the shape of the posterior femora.
Etymology.
This new genus is named after Dr Pascale Derleth (Lausanne), wife of the first author, who collected most of the material during her work in
East Kalimantan
, and was the first to recognize it as a separate genus. The gender is feminine.
Distribution.
Known only from Borneo (East
Malaysia
–
Sabah
- and
Indonesia
–

)
