.
Discussion: This species is still known only from the type series from Belmont Valley, Grahamstown (
Eastern Cape
). The
holotype
,
nine male
and
4 female
paratypes
were collected in a Malaise trap.
The characteristic head profile and wing venation of this species were illustrated by
Barraclough (1984
: Figs 25 & 27). Although diificult to discern, pile is present at the dorsomedial extremity of the eye in both sexes. The ocellar tubercle clearly has three ocelli.
