Emended description. Structure ( Figs 1–5 View FIGURE 1–3 View FIGURE 4–6 ). Metope flat, wide, 1.4 times wider below eyes than long medially, with almost straight upper margin, sharply narrowing to clypeus ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 1–3 , 5 View FIGURE 4–6 ). Metope with median carina running from its upper margin to strongly convex metopoclypeal suture and sublateral carinae developed only in its apical third and joint to median carina below its upper margin; densely covered with small concavities, each with microseta inside—punctations; with few traces of larval sensory pits (pustules) below its upper margin. Lateral margins of metope below eyes foliately hanging over pedicels. Coryphe transverse, without carinae, twice as wide as long medially; anterior margin widely convex; posterior margin obtusely angulate ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1–3 ). Diameter of each eye is nearly half of coryphe width. Postclypeus large, flat, with deep median groove ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 1–3 , 5 View FIGURE 4–6 ). Pedicels globular. Ocelli absent. Rostrum reaching hind coxae; 3 rd segment slightly shorter than 2 nd one, weakly narrowing apically. Pronotum slightly longer than coryphe, with weak median carina; anterior margin keel-shaped, rightly angulate; posterior margin straight. Paradiscal fields of pronotum very narrow behind eyes. Paranotal lobes of pronotum concave medially, widening downwards, with bent lower margin. Mesonotum 1.5 times as long as pronotum, with weak median carina. Tegulae small, almost not visible behind paranotal lobes of pronotum. Fore wings wide, surpassing abdominal apex, narrowing apically, with narrow marginal membrane, without hypocostal plate ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1–3 , 4 View FIGURE 4–6 ). Forewing vein branching sequence: R 2, furcating near to basal cell; M 2, furcating shortly after R; CuA 2, furcating before claval apex; many transverse veins between the main longitudinal ones—reticulate venation ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1–3 , 4 View FIGURE 4–6 ). Clavus as long as half of wing, open, Pcu joint A 1 at its middle. Hind wings reaching abdominal apex, elongate, unilobed, with costal margin concave medially, without cubital and vannal clefts, anal lobe reduced, with simple venation, without vein furcation ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 1–3 ). Middle femora slightly flattened. Fore and hind legs not flattened neither foliated. Hind tibia with two lateral spines subapically and 6–7 apical spines. First metataromere 1.5 times as long as second one, both with dense long setae ventrally. First metataromere with two latero-apical and seven intermediate spines in a whole row. Second metataromere with only two latero-apical spines.

Female terminalia ( Figs 7–15 View FIGURES 7–15 ). Hind margin of sternite VII with long median process narrowing apically ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 7–15 ). Anal tube long and narrow (in dorsal view), three times longer than wide medially, almost not narrowing to slightly concave apex, densely covered with long setae ( Figs 7, 8 View FIGURES 7–15 ). Anal column short, 1/4–1/5 of anal tube. Gonoplacs rectangular-shaped, without carinae ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 7–15 ), covered mainly with short setae. Gonocoxa VIII covered with denticles, with lobe-shaped hind margin bearing short thick setae ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 7–15 ). Anterior connective lamina of gonapophyse VIII wide, with three apical teeth and four lateral teeth bearing keels. Endogonocoxal lobe almost without setae. Endogonocoxal process weakly furcating apically. Posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX wide, densely covered with setae, with weakly curved distal parts, each with large spine-shaped process medially ( Figs 9, 10 View FIGURES 7–15 ). Median field of posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX convex, with fused lobes. Lateral fileds of posterior connective laminae of gonapophyses IX large, flat, and semicircular. Gonospiculum bridge large. Spermatheca, with a small bulb-shaped diverticulum ductus; ductus receptaculi with a small bulb near to vagina anterior ( Figs 14, 15 View FIGURES 7–15 ).
