Nt, semi esclerotized area; usually with 4 or more pleats. Ovipositor thickness: about same width throughout its length. Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibial length: 1.2?.3, rarely 1.0?.1. Length of fore wing veins r/2RS: 1.4?.6. Length of fore wing veins 2RS/2M: 1.4?.6. Length of fore wing veins 2M/(RS+M)b: 0.7?.8. Pterostigma length/width: 2.6?.0. Point of insertion of vein r in pterostigma: about half way point length of pterostigma. Angle of vein r with fore wing anterior margin: clearly outwards, inclined towards fore wing apex. Shape of junction of veins r and 2RS in fore wing: distinctly but not strongly angled. Male. As in female but with narrower mediotergite 1. Molecular data.
