Diagnosis.
Bifurcation of Rs opposite to or before cubital fork on wings; costal area simple with several furcate crossveins, especially near stigma; surrounding stigma with many black spots; stigma white; anterior Banks line of forewing distinct. Tibia spurs straight and slender, reach to about apex of the 2nd tarsomere. Female: 9thinterior gonapophysis with sparse short black digging setae, 9th-external gonapophysis present; 8th-interior gonapophysis as long as or longer than 8th-external gonapophysis, at least 8th-interior gonapophysis longer than 2/ 3 of 8th-external gonapophysis. Male: pilula axillaris present.
Remarks.
The elongate 8th-interior gonapophysis of
Gatzara
is shared with
Nepsalus
Navás, 1914
.
Stange (2003)
mentioned ‘The outstanding identification character of
Nepsalus
is the wing shape, the forewing is strongly emarginate on the posterior margin whereas the hindwing is greatly expanded somewhat beyond the middle.’ The wing shape of
Gatzara
is not so highly modified.
