The remnants of the gnathos are invisible. The base of the large anal tube with its double subscaphium is connected to a broad membrane of the fultura superior (see
Hausmann & Viidalepp 2012
, fig. 87, male genitalia).
Entephria caesiata
(

) and
Mesoleuca albicillata
(
Fig. 10
). In both species the gnathos arms are very thin, weakly sclerotized and fused with the distal part of the tegumen. The base of the large anal tube with its very weakly sclerotized double subscaphium is connected to a broad membrane of the fultura superior.
