The POLYCTEMON-Grovf 



Characterized in the male genitalia by the form of the uncus, which is tapered 

 in its apical half and which has two pairs of lateral projections, the posterior pair 

 membranous and setose, the anterior pair sclerotized. The dorsal process of the 

 valve is simple, without setose dilation or projection. The male hind tibia is 

 simple.
