[December 
pubescence in a depression running from ocellus to margin of antennal 
condyle; patch of 5-10 hairs at clypeal base, but no rostral subocular 
patch, only scattered hairs ; few, fine hairs on stipes. Forewings with 
coarse, scattered, yellowish hairs. Long white hairs on anterior and 
posterior faces of pro- and meso-coxa, and anterior face of metacoxa. 
Abdominal pubescence somewhat longer, denser ventrally and to- 
ward sides; tergum 1 glabrous medially, as are t4 to t7 medially and, 
increasingly so, laterally. 
Of female : much as in male, except pubescence appears yellowish, 
and everywhere somewhat shorter ; patch at base of clypeus may be 
absent; but few long hairs on posterior surfaces of pro- and meso- 
coxae. Abdominal pubescence denser, posterior margins of terga 
polished, nearly glabrous, as are most of terga 8 and 9. 
Head. Rostrum (from lower margin of eye to apex) ca. 2.1 
times length of eye in male, 2.6 times in female; longer than pro- 
tibia in female, slightly shorter in male. Eye slightly longer than 
broad, narrowed below. Antenna with 19 segments, condyle oppo- 
site lower margin of eye; scape much wider than long, pedicel swol- 
len in apical third and shorter (by one-fifth) than the combined 
lengths of segments 3 and 4. Ocelli small, median ocellus lacking. 
Frons and sides of vertex coarsely foveolate. Occipital foramen 
single, not divided to an alaforamen and neuroforamen by a sclero- 
tized corporatentorium. Hypostomal bridge (between occipital fora- 
men and cardo) very long, longer than length of eye in female, 
somewhat less in male. 
Thorax. Of male: pronotum polished, with occasional transverse 
wrinkles; strong anterior and posterior transverse grooves divide the 
pronotum into anterior, median and posterior transverse folds of 
widths roughly as 2 : 3 : 1 ; on each side : two or three long ( and 
several shorter) bristles on anterior lobe, three or more shorter 
bristles on median fold, and two to four long bristles set in trans- 
verse, more or less confluent depressions along hind margin of pos- 
terior fold in front of wing base. Outer margin of forewing nearly 
straight in dorsal aspect, inner margin slightly concave behind basal 
third; hind margin with ca. 15 (range: 13-18) strong marginal 
spines below which are directed obliquely outwards; only vestiges of 
spines on front margin; hooked apex terminates in a pair of strong 
apical bristles. Hind wing shorter, glabrous, with ca. 16 (range 13- 
20) stout spines below, no ventral brush of fine pubescence; apex 
hooked, spatulate at tip. A dark spine at apex above each femoral 
anterior condyle.
