( Figs 128–133 View FIGURES 128 – 133 )

Diagnosis. Forewing pattern as in Fig. 128 View FIGURES 128 – 133 . Central sclerite of hypandrium with two short, stout posterior projections ( Fig. 132 View FIGURES 128 – 133 ). Phallosome V-shaped anteriorly, with side struts slender, joined distally to external parameres, these distally straight, bearing a row of sclerotized denticles along the outer border. Two pairs of endophallic sclerites, anterior pair with inner arms slender, acuminate; outer arms club-shaped; mesal pair fused, H-shaped.

Head pattern ( Fig. 130 View FIGURES 128 – 133 ), vertex cream; a slender brown band from each compound eye to ocellar group, genae brown. Postclypeus with a brown area on each side; anteclypeus and labrum pale brown; antennae and maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 distally dark brown. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax pale brown; pleura with ochre brown spots in epimera and episterna, sternum cream. Coxae, trochanters and femora cream, tibiae and tarsi 1 pale brown, tarsomeres 2–3 brown. Forewings mostly hyaline, with brown areas as illustrated ( Fig. 128 View FIGURES 128 – 133 ).
