Manna View in CoL n. gen.
TYPE SPECIES. — Manna tenuis n. sp., by present designation.
ETYMOLOGY. — The generic name is the Latin feminine noun manna meaning “food from God for wandering Hebrews” which does not seem to be actually related to this genus but insinuaties that this genus is allied to the genus Tanna by rhyme.
DIAGNOSIS. — Fore wing ulnar cells and apical cells not partitioned.Length between bifurcation point into M vein and M1+2 vein and bifurcation point into M vein and M3+4 vein of fore wing 2.5 to 3 times the length between bifurcation point into M vein and M3+4 vein and base of M vein. Nodal line indistinct or absent on fore wing ulnar cell 3 and medial cell. Hind wing with infuscation along bases of apical cells 1, 2, and 3, forming a zigzag mark. Posterior margin of male abdominal tergite 3 slightly wider than mesonotum.
DESCRIPTION
Head including eyes narrower than mesonotum. Inner area of pronotum concolorous with pronotal collar. Lateral pronotal collar not dentate. Posterior pronotal collar very narrow. Wings hyaline, with many infuscations on fore wing. Fore wing venation normal, with ulnar cells and apical cells not partitioned. Length between bifurcation point into M vein and M1+2 vein and bifurcation point into M vein and M3+4 vein of fore wing 2.5 to 3 times the length between bifurcation point into M vein and M3+4 vein and base of M vein. Nodal line indistinct or absent on fore wing ulnar cell 3 and medial cell. Hind wing with distinct infuscation along bases of apical cells 1, 2, and 3, forming a zigzag mark. Male operculum very small, slightly longer than wide, very slightly extending beyond posterior margin of sternite II. Male abdomen cylindrical, longer than head and thorax together. Posterior margin of male abdominal tergite 3 slightly wider than mesonotum. Timbal cover short, wider than long.Male abdominal sternite III with tubercle-like projection on each centrolateral surface. Male pygofer elliptical in ventral view. Distal shoulder not pointed. Uncus not bifurcate, moderately long. Basal lobes of pygofer absent. Aedeagus moderately thick.
