Diagnosis.
Funicle 6-segmented and clava 1-segmented (
Fig. 12
); flagellum with fl
2
as long as fl
3
, with 1 and 2 mps, respectively (
Fig. 12
); head with long seta next to supraorbital trabecula (
Fig. 10
); mesosoma with fairly long suberect setae on mesosoma (
Fig. 16
); fore wing narrow and curved, with numerous microtrichia in at least 2 longitudinal rows (
Fig. 13
, and fig.
7 in
Huber (1992))
.

FIGURES 15, 16.
Anaphes kailashchandrai
sp. nov.
, holotype. 15, mesosoma and metasoma with legs; 16, mesosoma, enlarged.
Anaphes kailashchandrai
has the narrowest and most strongly curved fore wings of any described
Anaphes
except for the two Australian species
A. quinquearticulatus
(
Fig. 18
) and
A. saintpierrei
Girault
(
Fig. 27
). Females differ from those of
A. quinquearticulatus
by having 6 funicle segments (
Fig. 12
) rather than 5 (
Fig. 17
), and from
A. saintpierrei
females by having fl
2
as long as fl
3
(
Fig. 12
) rather than only about half as long as fl
3
(
Fig. 27
).
Description.
FEMALE.
Holotype
body length
610 µm
(
paratype
563 µm
), both card mounted specimens before slide mounting. Body dark brown. Antenna brown. Fore wing with uniform brown suffusion (
Fig. 13
).
Head

paratypes
1.10–1.12×) as broad as high. Occiput with very short and straight groove pointing ventrally and in line with supraorbital suture (
Fig. 11

Antenna
. Funicle 6-segmented, with 1 mps on fl
1
and 2 mps on fl
2
–fl
6
and fl
2
as long as fl
3
(
Fig. 12
); clava unsegmented (
Fig. 12
), longer than fl
5
and fl
6
combined, 3.7× (Indian
paratype
3.8×) as long as broad, and with 7 mps.
Mesosoma
. Mesoscutal midlobe with setae fairly long and erect, and near anterior margin; axilla with relatively long, fairly erect seta; second phragma with a shallow median notch (
Fig. 16
).
Wings
. Fore wing (
Fig. 13
) narrow, 13.6× (Indian
paratypes
15×) as long as broad, disc with 4–6 uneven rows of microtrichia; longest marginal seta 2.8× (Indian
paratypes
2.9–3×) maximum wing width. Hind wing (
Fig. 14
) 34.7× (n=2,
paratypes
33.9–36×) as long as broad, without microtrichiae on surface between the usual anterior and posterior rows (
Fig. 14

paratypes
6.7–7.0×) maximum wing width.
Legs
. Metatarsomere 1 1.17× (Indian
paratypes
1.10–1.13×) as long as metatarsomere 2 (
Fig. 15
