Description. Structure as mentioned for the genus.

Coloration. General coloration brown yellowish to dark brown on metope, clypeus, forewings, and fore and middle femora and tibiae ( Figs 1–6 View Figs 1–2 View Figs 3–6 ). Pedicel dark brown proxi- mally and light yellow distally. Hind wings opaque, with brown veins. Tarsal claws brown to dark brown. Apices of leg spines black. Abdominal sternites dark brown, each with pair of large light yellow spots laterally. Abdominal tergites light yellow to dark brown. Gonoplacs dark brown.

Male genitalia ( Figs 2 View Figs 1–2 , 7–16 View Figs 7–16 ). Pygofer roughly quadrangular in lateral view, elongate vertically, with straight hind margins, without processes ( Fig. 7 View Figs 7–16 ). Styli with large and wide plate covered by long setae on capitum and below and by short setae on main part of the plate, nb = knee bulge. Scale bar: 1 mm with a comb below capitulum; hind margin straight; posterodorsal angle widely rounded ( Fig. 13 View Figs 7–16 ). Capitulum of style without neck, narrowing apically (in dorsal view), with distinct lateral tooth (in dorsal and lateral views) and small semicircular lobe subapically (in dorsal view) ( Figs 14, 15 View Figs 7–16 ). Connective large, with big cup and short handle ( Fig. 12 View Figs 7–16 ). Penis mas- view; 15 = capitulum of style, ventral view; 16 = anal tube, dorsal view. Not to scale sternite VII, lateral view. Not to scale sive, wide, connected with anal tube and pygofer by large suspensorium bearing denticles and two large horseshoeshaped processes ( Figs 8, 11 View Figs 7–16 ). Phallobase with wide dorsolateral lobes fused dorsally ( Figs 10, 11 View Figs 7–16 ). Ventral phallobase lobe long and wide, mushroomshaped (with pileus apically), apparently fused with an aedeagus ( Fig. 9 View Figs 7–16 ). Aedeagus massive, visible above the phallobase, with long apical processes each bearing two large teeth, two rounded weakly sclerotized lobes, pair of hornshaped processes directed upwards, and pair of long ventral hooks covered by denticles and directed downwards ( Figs 9–11 View Figs 7–16 ). Anal tube elongate, with long furcated processes on its apical angles directed downwards ( Figs 2 View Figs 1–2 , 7, 16 View Figs 7–16 ). Anal column long, 0.4 as long as anal tube (in dorsal view), narrow.

Female genitalia ( Figs 6 View Figs 3–6 , 17–23 View Figs 17–23 ). Sternite VII with convex hind margin and stepshaped process below ( Figs 22, 23 View Figs 17–23 ). Anal tube elongate, three times as long as wide basally ( Figs 6 View Figs 3–6 , 20 View Figs 17–23 ). Anal column long, 0.5 as long as a whole anal tube. Gonoplacs short, nearly triangular, with rounded angles ( Fig. 6 View Figs 3–6 ). Gonocoxa VIII with nearly straight not protruding hind margin ( Fig. 21 View Figs 17–23 ). Endogonocoxal process narrowing apically ( Fig. 19 View Figs 17–23 ). Anterior connective lamina of gonapophyse VIII wide, with three large teeth in apical group and four teeth with keels in lateral group. Posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX with convex proximal part and nearly straight distal parts ( Figs 17, 18 View Figs 17–23 ). Median field of posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX convex, bilobed apically, with two elongate vertical folds, covered by dense setae.

Total length (from apex of head to apices of forewings). Males: 4.3 mm, females: 4.5–4.7 mm.

Etymology – The species named after shortened forewings, the specific name is in- tended as feminine in gender.
