secondary sac 



sp. rev. 



uncus simple 



valve simple 



wing "x" mm 



Spurs on tibia furthest from tarsal segments. 



Generally refers to veins R 2 to R 5 of the fore wing, some of 



which may be fused near their origin from the cell. 

 A small sac, which may or may not be present, attached to the 



bursa of the female. 

 Species name, previously in synonymy, now used as the valid 



name for a distinct species. 

 Refers to the single elongate uncus found in many species. 



(e. g. PI. 36, fig. 197). 

 Margin of valve without processes (occasionally a process will 



project over the margin, this must be differentiated from a 



process arising on the actual margin). 

 All wing measurements given are taken from the apex of the 



fore wing to the centre of the mesothorax. Wing span would 



be approximately twice this figure.
