Pronotum. Longitudinally divided into 2 parts by strong dorsal constriction (Figs 18, 22), anterior part elevated, evenly convex with pair of slender suprahumeral spines directed laterally (Figs 18, 19, 22, 23), posterior part swollen and bearing 3 apical, slender spines (Figs 18, 22). Wings. Forewing with 1 basal cell (M) (Fig. 24), 1 discoidal cell (R 2 + 3) (Fig. 21), basal cell formed by divergent M and Cu at base, then convergent and completely fused into single vein, then separate again distally (1 st m-cu crossvein absent). Hind wing with veins R and M briefly confluent, and 1 m-cu crossvein, with forked anal vein (Fig. 21). Legs. Metathoracic tibia with cucullate setal row I double, row II and row III complete and single. Male similar to female.
