male imago (lectotype). A. labels; B. details of forewing and half of body; C. detail of forewing base and hind wing; D. detail of abdomen in ventral view (black arrow indicate the strong pigmented medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla); E. detail of abdomen in dorsal view (black arrow indicate the longitudinal mark).
Diagnosis. Male imago:
1) forewing with pigmentation overlapping R
1 in
five regions, overlapping radial sector medially, without forming complete bands (
Fig. 6
B); 2) marginal intercalary veins paired (
Fig. 6
B); 3) hind wing with small brown mark at middle (
Fig. 6
C); 4) hind wing with pointed costal process (
Fig. 6
C); 5) marginal intercalary veins on hind wing present (
Fig. 6
C); 6) abdominal terga brown, with few spots and dark longitudinal mark at middle (
Fig. 6
E); 7) abdominal terga III, V and VI without lateral inverted V mark; 8) abdominal sterna covered with spots (
Fig. 6
D); 9) abdominal sterna with strong pigmented medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla (
Fig. 6
D).
Redescription. Male imago.
Length: body,
6.5 mm
; forewing,
7 mm
; cerci
8.6 mm
.
Head
. Compound eyes with brown turbinate portion. Antenna with brown scape, pedicel and flagellum.
Thorax.
Anteronotal protuberance brown medially; posterior scutal protuberance and scutellum brown. Anteronotal and metascutellar protuberance rounded. Legs: Tibia I with brown marks apically. Wings. Forewing with pigmented C and Sc areas, overlapping R
1 in
five regions, third region overlapping Radial sector (
Fig. 6
B); veins light brown; marginal intercalary veins paired; length of each intercalary vein 0.7 × distance between adjacent longitudinal veins; length of forewing about 2.6 × width. Hind wing with small brown mark at middle (
Fig. 6
C); costal process pointed; three marginal intercalary veins.
Abdomen.
Terga. Brown, with some spots and dark longitudinal mark in middle (
Fig. 6
E); terga III, V and VI without lateral inverted V mark. Sterna. Light brown, covered with spots and with well pigmented medioanterior and medioposterior sigilla (
Fig. 6
D). Genitalia. Forceps light brown and badly damaged.
