Diagnosis and Notes
The wings are without markings;
the female AR is 1.08-1.29; the SD is 3, 12-15. There are two ovoid
spermathecae with short necks; the third segment of the palp moderately
swollen with a number of small sensory pits at the end of the segment. The
male genitalia are rather like those of the subgenus Silvaticulicoides, the
posterior margin of the ninth tergite with a central notch, the aedeagus
triangular, the parameres simple with outwardly curved ends, and the ninth
sternite membrane spiculate.
The figure of the male genitalia is from Glukhova (1989); the wing is not
figured
