Diagnosis and Notes

The wings are greyish, with two small pale spots; one in the region of the cross-vein, the other just beyond the second radial cell. The female AR is 0.92-1.07; the SD is 3, 7, 9-15, occasionally also on 8, sometimes absent from 7, 8, 9 or 10. The male genitalia are distinctive; the ninth tergite margin wide with long divergent lateral processes, the parameres with bifid or trifid tips, the ninth sternite membrane spiculate.
The figures are from Delecolle (1985).
