Ultimate flagellomere 112 µm long, stout subapical seta 40 µm long. Temporal setae 9, including 4 inner verticals, 3 outer verticals, and 2 postorbitals. Clypeus with 13 setae. Tentorium, stipes, and cibarial pump as in Figure 53 . Tentorium 91 µm long, 18 µm wide. Stipes 95 µm long. Palp segment lengths (in µm): 18, 27, 82, 95, fifth palpomere not measurable. Third palpomere with 2 sensilla clavata subapically, longest 14 µm long. Thorax ( Fig. 54 ). Antepronotum with 5 setae. Dorsocentrals 18; acrostichals 6, all scalpellate; prealars 6, extended anteriorly; no supraalar. Scutellum with 2 setae. Wing ( Fig. 55 ). VR 1.33. C extension 161 µm long. Brachiolum with 1 seta, Sc with 16 seta, C extension with 23 non-marginal setae, R with 15 setae, R 1 with 11 setae, R with 20 setae, M 1+2 with 45 setae, M 3+4 with 24 setae, Cu with 17 setae, Cu 1 with 14 setae, PCu with 36 setae, An with 20 setae. Cell m with 19 setae, r with 224 setae, m 1+2 with 223 setae, m 3+4 with 96 setae, cu + an with 227 setae. 4+5 4+5 FIGURES 53–57.
