Diagnosis and Notes

The wings are greyish with four pale spots; one over the cross-vein, reaching the costa, one just beyond the second radial cell, and one in each of the cubital and anal cells. The female AR is 1.20-1.25; the SD is 3-15. The male genitalia are immediately recognisable, from the shape of the posterior margin of the ninth tergite and the shape of the dististyle.
The figures are by Delecolle, from Chaker (1981).
