Remarks.
Two specimens of
Parapetalocephala testacea
were identified from material obtained from TARI, and were used in this analysis. A third unidentified specimen of
Parapetalocephala
from TARI was also briefly examined. The cells of the forewing appear to vary in their degree of depression between the two species examined, with
P. testacea
having more deeply depressed cells.
