crates hnzli for comparison. I have not seen the Shana ravana. 

 Kirk., but from the descriptio]! of both genus and species there 

 can be little doubt as to its identity.

 black ; membrane pale fuliginous mottled with greyish ; cuneus

 and apices of tarsi black ; third joint of antennae stramineous,
