Diagnosis and Notes

The wing are very vaguely marked, with pale spots on either side of the radial cells and in cells cu and an, and also at the base of the wing; sometimes also at the ends of r5, m1 and m2. The third segment of the female palp is very swollen, with a deep sensory pit. Kremer (1966) gives the female AR as 1.97 and 1.16, the SD is 3-15. The male genitalia are as shown, the ninth tergite margin with a deep notch, and the ninth sternite membrane bare.
The figures are from Clastrier (1957).
