Diagnosis. Forewings hyaline; central sclerite of hypandrium densely setose, deeply concave posteriorly; with elongate and slender lateral posterior processes, and with two median, short processes; phallosome Y-shaped anteriorly, with stout stem; anterior endophallic sclerites stout, U-shaped, mesal sclerite broadly U-shaped, with a median, short, pointed posterior process and long side arms distally acuminate, slightly curved outwards, each bearing a stout, mesal, pointed process on outer border; posterior sclerites boomerang-shaped, stout, with small denticles along the inner border ( Fig. 121 View FIGURES 116 – 121 ). IX sternum with transverse area anteriorly, rounded on sides, with two irregular pigmented areas on posterior border; a large, posterior membranous area, with a small, distinct rounded area, surrounded with creases mesally on each side ( Fig. 127 View FIGURES 122 – 127 ).

Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body brown, with creamy areas, as indicated below. Head pale brown, with dark brown areas as illustrated ( Fig. 118 View FIGURES 116 – 121 ); labrum brown. Compound eyes ochre, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Antennae pale brown, scape brown, flagellomeres with apices cream. Maxillary palps pale brown. Prothorax cream. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax pale brown. Thoracic meso- and meta-pleura cream, with brown spots. Legs pale brown, mid- and hind- coxae creamy, with small proximal and distal pale brown spots. Wings hyaline, veins brown, with brown spots at wing margin ( Figs 116-117 View FIGURES 116 – 121 ). Abdomen pale cream, with subcuticular, ochre transverse bands on segments I–V. Clunium and hypandrium brown, central sclerite of hypandrium pale brown, with the latero-posterior processes yellowish. Epiproct and paraprocts pale brown, phallosome brown, with endophallic sclerite more pigmented.
