Diagnosis and Notes

The wings are pale, without markings. The female AR is 0.99-1.09; the SD is 3, 11-15. The male genitalia as shown; the margin of the ninth tergite wide, with a shallow central notch, the parameres long and tapering to a fine point, the ninth sternite membrane bare.
The figure of the wing is from Khamala & Kettle (1971); that of the male genitalia from Boorman & Dipeolu (1979).
This is an Afrotropical species; records from the Palaearctic are probably misidentifications.
