1. Wing extensively mottled or banded; scutum either mottled matte black and silver pubescence, or dark with pale dorsocentral stripes; male distiphallus narrow apically ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 G, 3G).........................................2
- Wing largely hyaline or uniform smoky infuscate; scutum grey, patterned with dark brown tessellate or interrupted stripes; male distiphallus ornately shaped apically (Winterton & Irwin 1999, figs 2F–G, 5F–G)......................................................................................................................................................................6
2. Scutum patterned with silver, matte black and brown pubescence; epandrium width equal to length along midline; ventral apodeme extending anteriorly to approximately half the length of ejaculatory apodeme ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 G).......................................................................................................................................................3
- Scutum patterned otherwise, often dark with pale dorsocentral stripes; epandrium elongate; ventral apodeme of parameral sheath extending anteriorly to approximately end of ejaculatory apodeme ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 G)..4
3. Male frons with elongate setae; male abdomen covered with silver velutum; mid and hind tibia with pale setae; slender species ................................................................................................................ plata View in CoL sp. nov.
