Remark
.
Efferia haloesa
is distinguished by
the characters in the key and the combined char-
acters of the terminalia (Fig. 27-29, reillustrated
from
Farr 1965
), especially the somewhat pointed
apex of the epandrium, long relatively dense setae
of the gonocoxite, and wide abruptly angular
aedeagus.
