. Type-species,
P. conformis
Tonnoir
(orig. des.).
Diagnosis.
Three ocelli, lateral ocelli touching or almost touching eye margin. Mediotergite, laterotergite, and anepisternum setose. Wing membrane covered with micro- and macrotrichia. Sc ending just beyond origin of Rs, sc-r faint, connecting to R in the basal region of wing; M1+2 unforked, an unattached vein present between M1+2 and unforked cubital vein (possibly M4, Amorim & Oliveira 2008). Tarsal claws toothed.
Comments.
The
holotype
of
Paratrizygia conformis
Tonnoir
is missing from the Australian Museum, Sydney (
Bugledich 1999: 269
), which prevents us from a wider discussion of the relationships within the genus. Even though the original description of the type-species of the genus is detailed, the fact that the
holotype
cannot be examined constrains the preparation of a well established diagnosis.
