Diagnosis. Forewing pattern ( Fig. 194 ); large dark brown proximal area, a brown transverse band from proximal end of pterostigma to distal end of Cu2; a brown area centrally in cell r, pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands, and broad marginal band from R4+5 to areola postica. Hindwing pattern ( Fig. 195 ), a brown distal band, a brown area between distal end of Cu2 and wing margin, and a brown area on proximal end of wing. IX sternum trapeziform, peripherally pigmented ( Fig. 198 ).

Color (in 80% ethanol). Body brown. Compound eyes dark brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Head brown ( Fig. 196 ), vertex pale brown, genae and postgenae brown. Antennae pale brown. Pronotum cream, with dark spot in mesal area; tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax dark brown. Thoracic pleura pale brown, mesepisternum and mesepimeron dark brown. Forelegs cream. Middle and hindlegs pale brown; middle and hindcoxae dark brown. Wing pattern ( Figs 194 and 195 ). Abdomen brown. Subgenital plate with pigmented area V-shaped ( Fig. 199 ). Gonapophyses: v1 and v2 +3 brown. Epiproct and paraprocts brown, with brown subcuticular areas.

Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 196 ): H/MxW: 1.39, H/D: 2.59, IO/MxW: 0.78, MxW/IO: 1.84. Vertex rounded, slightly above the level of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with five denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.35. Forewings ( Fig. 194 ): L/W: 2.49. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.38, wider in the middle; areola postica la/ha: 1.52. Hindwings ( Fig. 195 ): l/w: 2.84. Subgenital plate triangular, pointed posteriorly ( Fig. 199 ), with dense field of setae. Gonapophyses ( Fig. 198 ): v1 elongate, narrow, acuminate; v2 +3 with protruding lobe mesally on inner border, a row of five macrosetae on v2; distal process acuminate, with microsetae. IX sternum ( Fig. 198 ). Paraprocts ( Fig. 197 ) triangular, with widely rounded apex; setal field posteriorly and along outer border; sensory fields with 24 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 197 ) triangular, with rounded apex, almost as long as wide at its base, with distal setae and macrosetae, and three macrosetae mesally.
