Double pinned into celluloid triangle ( BMNH). Non-type. Papua New Guinea: Goilala , Tororo, 1500 m, 15– 20.02.1958, 1 ♀ (W. W. Brandt) ( BBMH).

D i a g n o s i s. This species can be recognized from the combination of head slightly longer and wider than high, face with conspicuous carina; parafacial in profile as wide as flagellomere 1 ( fig. 1 , 3 , 4 ); mesonotum and abdomen reddish yellow with a few black spots; scutellum with three to four pairs of long setae ( fig. 1, 1 ); wing almost uniformly hyaline with yellow veins, without spots or bands ( fig. 1, 1 ); fore coxa with cluster of setulae extending from round depression ( fig. 1 , 5 ); fore femur with numerous long and thin setae, mid femur with very large femoral organ on middle two-thirds of femur; setae in ventro-apical rows thin and non-spurious; abdominal sternites with long suberect setae at posterior margins; ventral hooks on oviscape strong; all setae and setulae golden yellow. The presence of more than two scutellar setae and the strong hooks of the oviscape support its placement in Eupyrgota s. str.
