Potamyia aureipennis (ULMER) ( Fig. 7 )

Hydropsychodes aureipennis ULMER 1930: 447-449 . Holotype, Sumatra: Fort de Kock , 920 m., April 1921 (Jacobson) (ZMH, examined).

Synaptopsyche aureipennis (ULMER) ; ULMER 1951: 252.

Antennal length unknown. Spur formula 044. In forewing crossveins Cul-Cu2 and M3+4-Cul touching. In hindwing veins M and Cu1 almost touching; fork 1 present. In the male genitalia, the setose surface on the tenth tergite is in a basal position, as in the more primitive members of the genus. In this respect it resembles P. nuonga nov.spec. but the hook formation is different and the endothecal process is much longer.
