tized, well-colored processes pointed at their 
apex; the valvula has its edges notched and 
is clothed with bristles; laterally there is a 
long, membranous bag abundantly clothed 
with scales; the penis is rather large (Fig. 
10c), is globular at one end, and has two 
long cornuti. 
Genitalia 9 : The lobes of the oviporus 
are small with rather long posterior apo- 
physes; the eighth segment is reduced; the 
tergite of the seventh segment is always fully 
developed; the characteristic piece, the clap- 
per, which closes the chamber where the 
ostium bursae opens, is formed by a long 
medial piece which is deeply notched at its 
apex and flanked at its base by two lateral 
parts having tufts of bristles (Fig. 10 d) .

The proboscis is fully developed; the labial 
palpi are upturned; the second joint, which 
reaches the vertex of the head, is lightly 
scaled; the third joint is short, and is clothed 
with raised scales beneath; the frons is 
smooth with tufts of hairs above; the male 
antennae are ciliated. The thorax is without 
crest, the meso- and metathoracic tibiae have 
long hairs on their inner side and are spined, 
the prothoracic tibiae are not spined. The 
abdomen is smooth without crest. The an- 
terior wings have a slightly projected apex. 
In the males the basal area of the underside 
of the wings is clothed with specialized hairs.
