 Tarsal ratio 26 : 8 : 6 : A : 6. Mesothoracic legs longer 

 than prothoracic, with tibia slightly longer than femur 

 and tarsal ratio 33 : 10 : 6 : /i : 6. Metathoracic legs

and-a-half times the length of femur, and tarsal ratio 

 33 : la 17 : h : 8. Both the hindpairs of legs are 

 slightly less hairy than the fore pair. 



Wings (Figs. 6 and 7) subequal, the hind- 

 wings smaller. In the forewings (Fig. 6) the cross- 

 vpin& from Sc lo Rj and from R^ to Ro+s are apart. 

 The hindwing venation (Fig; 7) is typical of the 

 genus Coniopteryx, i.e. the media is simple and iin- 

 branched. The cross-veins from Sc to R^ and from R, 

 to R2 + 3 are widely apart. The margins of the wings 

 bear no conspicuous longer hairs. 



Abdomen stout, narrowing slightly posteriorly. 

 Genitalia strongly chitinised and pigmented dark
