Morphology.
Forewing L/W: 2.61; pterostigma long, wider posteriorly, lp/wp: 1.77 (
Fig. 28
). Areola postica broad, apically rounded (

): proximal halves broad, almost rectangular, bearing two setae; distal halves wide based, narrowing distally, acuminate. Ninth sternum (
Fig. 31
): spermapore central, surrounded by a strongly pigmented rim, inscribed in a broad, irregular pigmented area as illustrated. Paraprocts (
Fig. 30
), almost elliptic, setose, sensory fields with 10–11 trichobothria in basal rosettes. Epiproct (
Fig. 30
) semicircular, with field of setae on sides and along posterior border, as illustrated.
