without sculpturing; scutellum not striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing 
with membrane including all or only basal portion of apical cells, veins 
elevated, distinct, with three closed anteapical cells all of which have their 
bases proximal to claval apex, with four apical cells of which base of fourth is 
more proximal than base of third, without an anteapical plexus of veins, tex- 
ture coriaceous and without sculpturing; forewings of female at rest exceeding 
apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1, length of first 
tarsomere greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres and 
with two parallel longitudinal rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced posteriorly, posterodorsal margin 
narrowly rounded, macrosetae numerous, occurring on posterior half. Plates 
triangular, not extending posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer apex, with 
macrosetae mostly uniseriate. Style not extending nearly as far posteriorly as 
apex of connective, strongly curved anteapically, truncate or not at apex. 
Connective elongate Y-shaped, the median portion longer than the arms. 
Aedeagus short, arched slightly, with apex directed slightly posteroventrally, 
without processes. Paraphyses broad at base with paired symmetrical rami. 
Female (concedula not studied) abdominal sternum VII with posterior 
margin produced and bluntly angulate. Dorsal membrane of genital chamber 
without sclerites. Ovipositor with second valvula bearing dorsal teeth from a 
point behind basal curvature to apex of valvula, the teeth triangular through 
most of length, becoming subquadrate and more closely spaced near apex, 
secondaries extremely minute; anteapical denticles present dorsally; apex 
acute, ventral margin very weakly convex. Pygofer with a number of 
macrosetae on posterior half.
