Heteralonia (Isotamia) sp. nov.

Unfortunately these specimens are almost completely denuded and cannot be described fully. Only traces of whitish hairs on the propleura and whitish scales on the abdomen can be discerned. The wing pattern (Fig., 10) is very distinctive with the dark brown basicostal infuscation interrupted in cell r 1 opposite end of Sc and three large very dark spots at the ends of cells br and origin of Rs, bm and on interradial cross vein opposite the clear area in r1. Also unlike other species the infuscation extends beyond the apex of r 1.
