Figs 6
a–c, female more bright. Abdomen with dorsum and center of venter blackish-brown, with base and side yellow; male with subgenital plate yellowish.
Vertex rounded anteriorly. Forewings with
RP
diverging from MP’ beyond midlength of MP’; hind wings with MP’’ situated on the level of CuA’’.
Abdominal apodemes reaching base of 5th abdominal sternite (
Fig. 28
).
Male genitalia. Male pygofer side rounded; upper lobe with a few thin and rigid setae; lower lobe broad with angular protrusion at hind ventral margin (
Figs 29, 30
). Subgenital plate with transitional part more broad than base, and with 2 macrosetae, about 4 peg-like setae and one pointed apical central seta (
Figs 31, 32
). Apical part of paramere long, hooked at 1/3 of its length (

Notes.
This species belongs to the
stellulata
group. It resembles
Aguriahana quadridens
Dworakowska
in color pattern, but can be distinguished from the latter by characters of male genitalia as follows: 1) side of pygofer without sclerotized teeth (
Fig. 30
); 2) paramere without spur-like subapical tooth (
Fig. 34
); 3) aedeagal shaft without process (
Figs 35, 36
);
A. quadridens
has a pair of long basal processes.
