(PI. 5, figs. 4-5; text-fig. 1,C) 
Body mostly brown; vertex sooty brown, rostrum uni- 
formly grayish brown; thorax deep brown dorsally; the 
lst-7th abdominal segments of female deep brown dorsally, 
last few abdominal segments light brown. Fore wing: 
length, 14.5 mm. ; width, 3.2 mm. ; membrane hyaline, mark- 
ings grayish brown ; pterostigmal band complete, with a 
broad basal branch and apical branch; basal band repre- 
sented by a spot ; apical band large with two hyaline spots ; 
basal spot absent; marginal spot large; pterostigma not 
very prominent ; the basal portion of wing is very long and 
narrow. Hind wing : length, 13.2 mm. ; width, 3 mm. ; sim- 
ilar to the fore wing. $ genitalia : subgenital plate broad 
with wide V-shaped distal incision; internal skeleton small, 
the posterior arms of the plate rather long, twisted, with 
narrow apex, the axis shorter than the posterior arms, ex- 
tending a little beyond the plate. 
6 unknown. 
Holotype (9): Darjeeling, India; May, 1938; Maa; in 
Maa Collection. 
Paratype: 1 9; same collecting data as holotype; in 
Cheng Collection. 
This species is easily distinguished from others of the 
genus by the very long and contracted basal portion of 
the wings. The shape of the female genitalia also makes 
its recognition easy.
