Description. Adult.
Coloration. Ochreous; clavus brown, remigium lighter.
Structure. Body, in dorsal view, narrowly ovoid. Head slightly indented in middle of fore margin, each half of fore margin slightly convex; anterior rim indistinctly delimited from membrane; areolae, in longitudinal body axis, relatively short; eyes weakly recessive; hind margin of eye and postero-lateral margin of head forming an evenly rounded depression. Pronotum with poorly defined median longitudinal ridge, weakly, irregularly punctate posteriorly and postero-laterally. Paranota relatively small, angular anteriorly and posteriorly, with weakly curved lateral margins; punctate postero-ventrally. Tegmen with vein M reduced basally, basal radial cell rarely with additional veins in apical half of vein M+CuA. Male and female terminalia as in
Figs. 29
,

,

,

. Male anal tube broadly oval, in dorsal view, widest in basal third, with weakly curved lateral margins. Pygophore with comparatively long and narrow median posterior tooth; postero-lateral edges distinctly angular. Parameres long, subacute apically. Aedeagus, in anterior view, with narrowly rounded head distally which is slightly narrowed subapically, and subquadrate antero-proximal lobes; posterior outline of neck, in profile, sinuous; spines on neck absent. Female tergite 9 with ventral margin weakly curved in apical third. Ventral teeth of valvulae 1 conspicuously large.

Tables 1
and

.
Fifth instar
(
Fig. 76
). Anterior head margin weakly convex or almost straight. Posterior lobes of abdominal segment 9 stout, blunt apically; ventrite 9 covered with microscopical spinules in addition to setae; rear margin of male genital capsule, in ventral view, ending medially more distally than laterally (
Fig. 82
). Measurements and ratios in
Table 3
.
Etymology.
From Greek γωνɩος = angular and ωμος = shoulder, referring to the angular paranotal lobes.
