long,
2.6 mm
wide; ScP strong, ending on anterior margin, slightly beyond the wing midlength; area between anterior wing margin and ScP with several strong crossveins; RA simple, distinctly bent opposite the end of ScP, reaching wing apex; RP originates opposite one third of the wing length, fused with MA
0.2 mm
long distal to its origin; RP + MA
0.3 mm
long; RP and anterior branch of MA probably fused for a point, then separated immediately; RP with three (2, 1) or four distal branches (3, 1); M forked into MA and MP opposite the origin of RP; MA with two branches or simple; MP simple; CuA forked
