( Figs 45–56 View FIGURES 45 – 50 View FIGURES 51 – 56 )
Diagnosis. Wings mostly hyaline, forewings with brown spots at vein ends. Central sclerite of hypandrium slightly concave anteriorly, with a mid sized posterior process in the middle ( Fig. 48 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ). Phallosome Y-shaped anteriorly, with short stem and slender, long arms; anterior pair of endophallic sclerites fused, transverse, sausage-shaped, with a row of short denticles along posterior border; mesal sclerite broadly H-shaped, with anterior arms thicker, lateromesal sclerite wide, anteriorly acuminate; posterior pair of endophallic sclerites elongate, curved, distally wider, with denticles along posterior border ( Fig. 50 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ). Ninth sternum straight anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, with a well defined triangular area anteriorly, and two underlying lobes posteriorly ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 51 – 56 ).
Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body creamy, with pale brown areas. Compound eyes brown, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Head pale brown, with dark brown spots in genae, front and clypeus; vertex and postclypeus with brown spots ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ). Genae with brown spots from the compound eyes to subgenal sulcus. Postgenae cream. Antennae and maxillary palps pale brown. Pronotum and propleura cream; tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax brown, with cream spots. Thoracic pleura brown, with ochre brown stripe at the bottom. Legs pale brown, hind coxae and trochanters cream. Abdomen creamy, with brown subcuticular spots.

Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with three broad denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.4. Forewings ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ): L/W: 2.54. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 5.11, with abundant setae in the membrane; areola postica: la/ha: 2.0, slanted posteriorly. Hindwings ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ): l/w: 2.97. Hypandrium sclerites of about the same size. Phallosome ( Fig. 50 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ). Paraprocts ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ) broad, rounded posteriorly, distal part with abundant medium sized and shorts setae; sensory fields with 19 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 45 – 50 ) wide, rounded posteriorly, setae as illustrated.
