( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10. A – C , dimensions in Table 1 View TABLE 1 )

Type material. Holotype: T189834, mac ♂, Emerald Creek, Lamb Range, 950m, 11 Oct 1982, Monteith, Yeates and Thompson, pyrethrum knockdown in rainforest, dissected on three slides, in QM.

Description. Brown with no pale bands on wings. Eyes with single seta about three times as long as facet diameter; L4 long, ratio labial segmental lengths 2:1.5:1:4. Costal lobe wide, without distal taper; membrane emarginate at apex of lobe; R+M diverging from Sc basally so that costal lobe is elongate; cell R <discal cell, divergence of M from R is distal to basal cell, less than half area of cell R is distal to apex of discal cell; 1AN joining Cu opposite tornus; vein setae very long (2–3 times vein width); basal angle of trapezoidal cell rectangular; density of general papillae in hexagonal mosaic of wings very sparse proximally. T8 not produced on either side, broad on left side; left anophoric process spinous, straight distally, projecting posteriorly almost to margin of genital capsule; right anophoric process possibly a short strut becoming spinous distally; left paramere small, with bulbous base and short distal lobe; right paramere with bulbous base and long, thick weakly curved distal spine; conjunctival processes not resolved; vesica with one sclerotized coil.

Notes. An undescribed, elytrous female was collected by QM 6km from Emerald Creek at Douglas Creek, Lamb Range but probably represents a related undescribed genus rather than the female of this species and is discussed below.

Etymology. Latin for hairy, referring to the long setae on the wing veins; adjective.
