symmetrical, in lateral view broader in apical half, without processes. 
Paraphyses absent. 
Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced, keeled medially, 
posterior margin almost regularly convex. Ovipositor with second valvulae 
each broadened throughout portion beyond basal curvature, each with dorsal 
margin convex and bearing numerous close-set quadrate teeth, ventral margin 
not concave, with numerous minute anteapical posteroventral denticles, apex 
acute. Pygofer with numerous large macrosetae on posterior half. 
Specimens of Lebaja, new genus, are brown or black with a conspicuous me- 
dian pale vitta on the anterior dorsum. They are superficially similar to 
specimens of Diedrocephala Spinola, or Baleja Melichar. 
Lebaja occurs in southern Brazil. It differs from Baleja conspicuously in its 
median coronal fovea and in the concavity at the apex of the forewing, and in 
the second valvula of the ovipositor which is acute (much like the present il- 
lustration of Plerogonalia (fig. 434k)) apically, and with the ventral margin not 
concave.
