The male of a pair of specimens from Burundi differs in having a broader, 

 appreciably less tapered apex to the valve. These examples may represent a 

 subspecies and have been excluded from the type-series.

 1 $ (both MRAC, Tervuren). 



The IGNICOSTA -Group 



Characterized in the male genitalia by the form of the slender, bifurcate valve; 

 by the presence of exceptionally long setae extending to the apex of the valve 

 from the digitate projection near the base of its dorsal process; and by the short, 

 but strongly sclerotized fulcrum, which does not extend to the apex of the aedeagus. 

 The vesica is without a cornutus. 



The male hind tibia is not dilate, but encloses a capsule of short, bristle-like 

 hair scales.
