description
Male. Body pale brown, dorsal part of meso and metathorax brown. Large dark area between lateral and anterior ocelli. Foreleg anterior claw as long as foreleg spur. Wings (Fig. 28). Forewings 4.9 mm (n = 1), greyish brown; broad, ratio of length to breadth 3.1; R 1 slightly curved before crossvein r; radial sector weakly produced anterad immediately before discoidal cell; discoidal cell originating immediately before mid-length of wing, nearly 3 x longer than wide; median cell slightly shorter than discoidal cell; crossvein r situated at base of fork I; fork I originating before crossvein s at distance equal to length of crossvein s; nygma located near base of fork II; fork III 1 / 5 th as long as wing; fork V as long as fork I, shorter than fork II; Cu 2 well-separated from A at wing margin. Hind wings 3.9 mm (n = 1), brown; broad, ratio of length to breadth 3.0; margin slightly incurved at arculus, where Cu 1 and Cu 2 fused with margin; fork III clearly longer than discoidal cell and 1 / 7 th as long as wing; fork V slightly shorter than fork I; 1 A + 2 A 4 x longer than 1 A. Male genitalia (Figs. 150 – 154). Segment IX clearly shorter than high; anterior plate nearly triangular; posterior 1 / 2 of segment expanded dorsally into rectangular plate; each anterodorsal margin deeply concave in lateral view; each ventral margin uniformly convex, without incision at vertical apodeme; each posterior margin nearly straight, starting below cercus; ventral side of posterior-most part of segment IX with setae (Fig. 152). In dorsal view segment IX with narrow anterior lobes; in dorsal view anterodorsal margin forming deep, wide, U-shaped incision with anterad-orienting processes on each side. In ventral view segment IX nearly quadrangular, with concave anterior margin and straight posterior margin; posterior margin without central projection. Tergum X simple; apical 1 / 3 rd much more slender than basal 2 / 3 rds (Fig. 150); tergum X orienting posterad, slightly curved ventrad along its length; divided into 2 lateral branches from base in dorsal and ventral view (Figs. 151, 152); each branch uniformly narrow in dorsal and ventral view, except apical 1 / 3 rd narrower; without dorsal process in lateral view, but with narrow, hook-shape lateral process on each lateral branch at distal 1 / 3 rd; pair of sensillae located on dorsal end of thickest part of lateral process. Cerci nearly club-shaped in lateral view, located at 2 / 3 rds height of posterior margin of segment IX and oriented dorsad in lateral view and posterad in dorsal view; covered by long setae. Gonopods as long as segment IX, 3 - branched. Each dorsal branch long, slightly exceeding tergum X in lateral view; uniformly slender, bending posterad at mid-length; anterodorsal margin convex; ventral margin slightly concave; in ventral view slightly curved mesad; without mesal megasetae. Ventral branch of each gonopod nearly rectangular in lateral view, with undulating posterior margin and smooth ventral margin; mesal margins strongly convex in ventral view. Mesal branches darkly pigmented, slightly longer than each circus; straight in lateral view; curved mesad in ventral view. Phallic apparatus slightly longer than rest of genitalia: phallotheca, in lateral view, with anterior part 2 x thicker than posterior part; in ventral view anterior part about 1.5 x wider than posterior part; apicoventral spine absent on phallotheca; large phallotremal sclerite in phallic apparatus forming complex structure in lateral view; in ventral view forming paired rays separated by narrow plate; 2 short, nearly black endothecal spines present. Female. Unknown.
