Diagnosis and Notes
The wings are greyish with the
pale spots very vague except for one over r-m and one just beyond and just
clipping the end of the second radial cell. The female AR is 1.2-1.4 and the
SD is 3-15. The male genitalia are as shown, the ninth tergite long and the
parameres with the tips curved inwards.
The figures are from Glukhova (1989).
