Diagnosis and Notes

The wings are unmarked; the female AR is 1.02-1.10, and the SD is 3-6, 11-14. See also judaeae, molotovae and pseudolangeroni, and molotovae for the differences in the four species; Glukhova & Braverman (1999) separated the females of the group (of which the males are almost identical) by the shape of the spermathecae.
The figures are by Delecolle, from Chaker (1981), and of the spermathecae from Glukhova & Braverman (1999).
