Figs. 201, 202, 203, 561 



This species may be distinguished from Dictyophara microrhina 

 Walker, to which it is closely related, by the more robust cephalic pro- 

 cess which is parallel-sided and not tapering as in D. microrhina and 

 the genital characters are dift'erent. 



Vertex more than three times as long as broad, nearly parallel 

 sided and not much narrowed toward the apex ; median carina ex- 

 tending from base to apex ; genae with a median carina from the eye, 

 almost to the apex ; frons rather broad ; clypeal expansion very slight ; 

 intermediate carinte more widel,y separated than in D. microrhina; 

 fore wings very finely reticulate; female pygofers much longer and 

 more slender than in D. microrhina, not so deeply curved and not as 

 much constricted at the l)ase; ovipositors slightly exceeding the py- 

 gofers with small teeth; subanal plate parallel-sided, reflexed border 

 narrow; male plates rather long, ])lnnt at the ti]). slightly I'xeeeded by 

 the anal i)late.
