Diagnosis
Pygofer (
Fig. 1F
) with apex distinctly truncated, ventral margin expanded posteroventrally, forming subquadrate lobe; in dorsal view (
Fig. 1G
), with small preapical inner lobe. Subgenital plate (
Fig. 1F, H
) with small sclerotized dorsal tooth near apex. Style (
Fig. 1I–J
) with knob-shaped apex bearing numerous denticles. Aedeagus (
Fig. 1K–L
) with pair of short and acute apical processes.
Etymology
The specific epithet alludes to the reticulated venation of forewing (
Fig. 1D
).

Description
MEASUREMENTS. Total length: male
12.3–12.5 mm
(n =2).
COLORATION. Yellow (
Fig. 6A–B
). Crown (
Fig. 1A
) mostly orange, anterior and posterior margins yellow; ocelli yellow. Pronotum (
Fig. 1A
) with anterior three-fourths yellow and posterior fourth dark yellow. Forewing (
Fig. 1D
) yellow, translucent, with dark yellow venation. Legs (
Fig. 6B
) yellow.
HEAD AND THORAX. External morphological characters as in generic description.
MALE TERMINALIA. Sternite VIII (
Fig. 1E
) subrectangular, about 1.5 times as wide as long; lateral margins slightly rounded; posterior margin rectilinear. Pygofer in lateral view (
Fig. 1F
) trapezoidal, length approximately twice maximum height; apex distinctly truncated; macrosetae distributed only near apex, presence of few short and robust setae near apex; ventral margin expanded posteroventrally, forming subquadrate lobe; in dorsal view (
Fig. 1G
), with small preapical inner lobe. Subgenital plate in lateral view (
Fig. 1F
) not produced posteriorly as far as pygofer apex; in ventral view (
Fig. 1H
), subtriangular, basal half of external margin expanded laterally, bearing short setae on apical half; apical half narrowing progressively towards apex; internal margin sinuous; dorsal surface with small, sclerotized tooth near apex; apex rounded. Connective (
Fig. 1I
) approximately three-fifths of length of style; arms broad. Style (
Fig. 1I
), in dorsal view, with apodeme very short, spatulate, and strongly flattened laterally; apophysis elongated, flattened laterally; dorsal margin expanded laterally, forming preapical lamella; in lateral view (
Fig. 1J
), outer lobe indistinct; apex sclerotized, knob-shaped, with numerous small lateral and ventral denticles. Aedeagus (
Fig. 1K–L
) with preatrium reduced; dorsal apodeme developed dorsally, not expanded laterally; shaft tubular and very elongated, curved anteriorly; apex with pair of short and acute processes directed dorsally.
FEMALE TERMINALIA. Female unknown.
