Diagnosis and Notes

The wings are pale, unmarked except for a paler area below and just beyond the radial cells. The female AR is 1.07-1.14; the SD is 3, 5,6, 11-14, occasionally also on 4. The male genitalia are distinctive, especially the shape of the parameres; the ninth sternite membrane bare.
This species closely resembles langeroni, judaeae and molotovae, from which it may be separated by the shape of the spermathecae - see molotovae for figures and details.
The figures are by Delecolle, from Chaker (1981).
