Figure 19; Plate 2, figure 5 



Male (holotype) : Head with vertex dark brown, shining, posterior 

 portion with transverse yellow bar on each side extending from eye to 

 central brown area; face yellow with median brown longitudinal 

 streak extending from below antennal bases, narrower on frons and 

 broadening at cl3^pei)s; palpi yellowish; basal antennal segment yel- 

 low, faintly brownish dorsall,y along apical margin, following six seg- 

 ments (approximately) yellowish (scape slightly darker), next 11-13 

 (approximately) brownish black, the terminal 42 yellowish (the tran- 

 sition between the preceding brownish black segments to the yellowish 

 ones sharp), becoming slightly darker toward tip (left antenna of 63 

 segments) ; legs yellow, mesothoracic and metathoracic coxae brown, 

 prothoracic coxae yellow; pronotum brown and yellowish brown 

 mottled, with thin central blackish streak posteriorly; mesonotum 

 and metanotum brown, slightly paler toward center, mesothoracic 

 and metathoracic plem-a brown; abdomen yellowish. 



FoREWiNG (pi. 2, fig. 5): Length 3.9 mm., width 1.4 mm.; mem- 

 brane with two interconnected prominent dark brown patches sepa- 

 rated from a distal marginal brownish area by a large obliquely trans- 

 verse hyaline area du-ected basally beginning at costa in center of 

 pterostigma and extending to inner margin at Cu2, two additional 

 basal hyaline areas; the first large dark brown patch, the basal radio- 

 medial streak, longitudinally elongate and beginning at the costa 

 at about the humeral vein and extending to about the fifth costal 

 cross-vein, in the subcostal area from the subcostal cross-vein to just 

 beyond 1st r, in the radial area from just beyond Rs+MA to 

 slightly beyond 1st r; the second large patch, an oblique anteptero- 



I stigmal spot, broadest at costa and narrowing around 2d r to near 

 2d m; the two patches interconnected with brownish intervenational 

 raylike streaking between the longitudinal veins below Rl, continu- 

 ing in a curve to base at anal area, leaving an elliptical yellowish to 

 hyaline spot basal to radiomedial streak; the marginal brownish area 

 consisting of a less prominent dark brown postpterostigmal spot, and 

 a second less prominent spot around the branches of Cul, with inter- 

 venational brownish streaking along the outer (apical) and inner 

 margins between the two spots; in general longitudinal and cross- 

 veins pale in pale areas and brown in brownish areas; pterostigma 

 with central yellowish to hyaline area covering about four cross-veins 

 between antepterostigmal and postpterostigmal spots; Rs forking 

 into R2-|-3 and R4+5 below pterostigma near margin distal to 3d r 



, and point of coalescence of Sc and Rl; MPl + 2 with the first fork at 

 an angle; Cul with three branches to margin in right wing and four 



' in left wing; three radial cross-veins, 3d r under pterostigma to R2 + 3;
