Wings with a faint brown cloud at r-m. Venation : r very 

 faint ; Sc.2 at tip of Sci and only about one-half longer than 

 it ; cell 1st M2 relatively small with the basal deflection of 

 Cui just beyond mid-length. Male hypopygium with the 

 apical angles of the pleurites produced caudad and mesad 

 into long slender arms as in producta ; outer pleural 

 appendage with a small circular apical notch, the lateral 

 arm thus formed narrow and subacute at apex ; inner pleural
