Wing ( Fig.19 View FIGURES 1120 ).
Leg: Fore femur (see brevicornis , Fig. 23 View FIGURES 2128 ) with ventral row of 89 unusually long, thick, yellow bristles. Hind femur (see comosus , Figs. 31 View FIGURES 2938 ). HFWLR 1.0:4.11.0:4.8. Hind tibia ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 3948 ).

Terminalia (Figs. 197201): Ventral lamella bare, row of dense redorange setae absent. Epandrium 3 branched; dorsal branch narrow; not forked apically; median branch minute; ventral branch apically wide, notch and clawlike bristles present. gonocoxite with minute setae in large sockets.

Fore and middle femora brown on apical third, dorsal twothirds brown on hind femur. Middle and hind femora usually with brown ventral bristles; HFWLR 1.0:6.01.0:6.2. Tarsi with only brown bristles. Abdomen: Without unusual vestiture of tergite 5 and sternites 46. Tergites 15 or 6 with wide, lateral margins yellow. Tergite 9 longer than cercus, mostly membranous, sides narrowly sclerotized. Sternites 37 with brown bristles apically and laterally. Terminalia (Figs. 202204): Three spermathecae present; duct basal.
