1, 5, 9, 13, 17, male adult, dorsal view; 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, male adult, left lateral view; 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, head and thorax, dorsal view; 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, face; 21, fore wing; 22, hindwing.
1T apodemes forming almost right triangle, not extended to segment II (
Fig. 23
). Male pygofer in profile with apex slightly protruded, bearing 8–10 rigid microsetae along posterior margin, dorsal bridge well developed, occupying 4/5 length of pygofer in dorsal aspect (
Figs 24, 25
,
38–40
). Subgenital plate in lateral view gradually curved dorsad apically; basal setae (7–8) situated on broadest section of plate, one or two setae separated from bristle clusters; marginal setae (10–11) arranged in a single row; macrosetae (5) discrete, not extended to tip of plate; feeble microsetae (11–12) inconspicuous, slightly longer than marginal setae (
Figs 24
,
38, 41
). Aedeagus shaft in lateral view tapered distally, with stiff, peg-like process directed basad, gonopore subapical on ventral side (
Figs 42, 43
). Style broad at base, dentifer distinctly narrower than basal section, with 6–7 tiny teeth and 3–4 short setae (
Fig. 44
). Anal tube process short, tapered (
Fig. 45
).
Remarks.
Homa haematoptilus
was described based on a specimen collected from
Queensland
by
Kirkaldy (1906)
, and it was originally placed in
Eupteryx
Curtis, 1829
. However,
Dworakowska (1969)
transferred
Eupteryx haematoptilus
Kirkaldy, 1906
to
Homa
and synonymized
H. insignis
Distant, 1908
after studying the
Homa
specimens deposited in the British Museum, creating a new combination:
H. haematoptilus
(
Kirkaldy, 1906
)
. Unfortunately, the genitalia of
H. insignis
Distant
is missing now.
Mahmood (1967)
redescribed
Homa insignis
Distant, 1908
based on specimens of the male
type
deposited at the Natural History Museum, London, and illustrated the male genitalia for the first time. The specimens illustrated here were identified based on drawings (Plate 10: 2c, 2e) provided by Mahmood.
