terminal area on the fore wing. Upperside of vestiture and non-hyaline terminal area of 

 wings brownish orange to light brown (pi. 6, C-D6) ; dentate subterminal fascia weakly marked 

 in a darker shade. Underside: vestiture light buff, tip of abdomen dark brown; non-hyaline 

 terminal area of wings dark brown. 



^ genitalia (Text-figs 167, 168). Closely similar to those of sinecalcarata, differing in the 

 appreciably broader valve, the greatest width being equal to the length of the dorsal margin 

 from its apex to the base of the dorsal process, and in the form of the fulcrum, which is serrate- 

 edged in its apical eighth. 



0. unknown. 



Measurements. Fore wing: $ 17 mm. Antennal pectinations: £ 8 X diameter of shaft. 



Externally distinct in the protrusa-gvoup in the difference in wing-pattern 

 between the fore and hind wings.

(J $ (PI. 105, fig. 940). Hyaline area of wings greenish white (pi. 30, A2) slenderly edged 

 distally with dark grey. Non-hyaline terminal area of wings brownish orange (pi. 6, C6) to 

 light brown (pi. 6, D6), the dentate subterminal fascia marked in a shade darker and slenderly 

 edged distally with silvery grey. Underside of non-hyaline terminal area of wings uniformly 

 dark brown. 



(J genitalia (Text-figs 169, 170). Apex of dorsal margin of valve produced and serrate- 

 edged; dorsal process dilate and setose at one-third; hair-scales of coremata light buff. 

 Aedeagus with a projection at three-fourths, acicular in shape with ventral surface, next 

 aedeagus, scobinate. Fulcrum tapered apicad with a pair of angular projections at two-thirds. 

 Vesica with a slender, acicular cornutus. 



$ genitalia (PI. 35, figs 591, 592). Sterigma with a digitate process extending anteriorly 

 dorsad of the corpus bursae, the posterior half of which is sclerotized. Posterior margin 

 of lamella postvaginalis asymmetrical. 



Measurements. Fore wing: £ 14-15 mm; $ 15 mm. Antennal pectinations: £ 10 x * 

 $ 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Distinguished externally by the broader, warm brown, non-hyaline tenninal 

 area of the wings, less deeply penetrated by hyaline than in related species, 

 combined with the uniformly dark brown of its under surface. Distinguished 

 structurally in the male genitalia by the broad valve, by the length of the projection 

 from the aedeagus and by the form of the fulcrum and in the female genitalia 

 by the form of the sterigma and the extent of the sclerotization of the corpus 

 bursae.
