1 white-scaled as in female; tergites 2-7 less 
extensively white-scaled, apical bands nar-

Ninth tergite long, without bristles; proximal 
part shallowly emarginate; apex broadly but 
shallowly emarginate; lateral lobes slightly 
projecting, with ventrolateral sclerotization. 
Proctiger without visible sclerotization. Basal 
lobe of sidepiece with a dorsal group of two 
strong bristles and three weak ones and one 
strong ventral bristle. Clasper as figured. Me- 
sosome expanded on each side into a broad, 
basal, heavily sclerotized plate on ventral sur- 
face; apical spine slightly curved, projecting

bases of wing and appendage cases. Trumpet 
dark on tracheoid, golden brown beyond; 
length 3.50 median width; gradually widened 
from base, almost parallel-sided on apical half; 
inner wall distinctly separated only in trache- 
oid portion; tracheoid extending about 0.4; 
reticulations distinct; pinna about 0.25; a dis- 
tinct slit in meatus extending about one-half 
distance of reticulate. All hairs moderately 
pigmented and simple; relative position, 
length, and degree of development as figured; 
larger branched hairs with a short stem only 
slightly flattened apically where branches arise.
