D is 0.57 the length of the head in front view; Forewings ( Fig. 70 ) without spur veins; membrane pterostigma with setae. Hypandrium semioval, broad, posterior margin emarginate, with medium sized setae and macrosetae. Phallosome narrow anteriorly, with anterior border straight, widened distally ( Fig. 75 ), external parameres rounded laterally; endophallic lobes broad, rounded apically, and touching each other along the midline, arms of internal parameres bow shaped, touching posteriorly at a point, in the midline. Epiproct pentagonal ( Fig. 73 ), with three macrosetae mesally and one near each postero-lateral corner, posterior setal field as illustrated. Paraprocts ( Fig. 74 ) elongate, with medium sized setae and few macrosetae as illustrated; mesal prong stout, strongly curved apically, hooked, sensory fields with 18 trichobothria on basal rosettes.
