Diagnosis and Notes

In general this is a larger and more definitely marked species than the preceding, but is best separated with certainty by the male genitalia. These are distinctive, the ninth sternite being completely divided. In the female, the AR is 1.10-1.20, and the SD is 3,11-15; the third palpal segment is moderately swollen, with a single sensory pit at the apex. The wings have macrotrichia at the apex, with a few in the cubital and anal cells. The figures are from Kremer 1966 (genitalia) and Delecolle 1985 (wing).
