 basal segmental bands, obsolete centrally; venter whitish scaled, the segments with

Wings narrow, hyaline; stems of second marginal and second posterior cells

Length: Body about 6mm. 



Genitalia: Side-pieces nearly three times as long as wide, rounded at tip; api- 

 cal lobe roundedly prominent, without basal prolongation; basal lobe digitate, ap- 

 pressed, with a side-piece bearing two stout apical setaB. A group of dense hairs 

 arising at origin of apical lobe. Clasp-filament long, slender, with two small setae 

 towards tip arising from slight notches; a long articulated terminal spine. Harpes ellip- 

 tical, concave, inner margin thickened and revolute; tip pointed and outcurved. Harpago- 

 nes with a long stem, its basal and larger portion thick, angular and bearing a few 

 setae, apical portion slender, with a broad terminal filament which is expanded at 

 tip, the angles of the expansion pointed. Unci approximated revolute, forming a 

 basal cylinder. Basal appendages approximate, bearing several short, stout setae.

 five hairs; lower frontal tuft with four or five hairs, upper triple. Eyes large. 



Thorax rounded, angled at hair-tufts ; hair formula of frontal border 121114411121. 

 The median tuft of four hairs consisting of one very long hair and three small ones. 

 The next hair nearest 4 exceedingly small. Lateral hairs long, a few single, most 

 most of them in multiple tufts. 



Abdomen rather broad, the first segments much smaller than segment six and 

 seven; lateral hairs on first two segments triple, double on third to fifth, single on 

 sixth. No subdorsal tufts. Eighth segment with tufts in common arrangement. Late- 

 ral comb consisting of about twelve scales, arranged in an arcuate row, each scale 

 spatulated at base ending in a long, acute spine with smaller spines at its base and 

 many small spines or hairs bordering the spatulate part. Sipho rather short, taper- 

 ing at apex, only two and a half times longer than broad, a pecten at basal third 

 consisting of about 13 thorns, the last two single, at great distances from each
