Figures 4 and 6 Body length 21.7 mm; fore wing length 17.1 mm, hind wing length 15.2 mm. Tergum 9 (Figure 4c) with two isolated patches of sensilla basiconica. Tergum 10 (Figure 4c) with two larger patches of sensilla basiconica. Paraprocts Figures 4 (c) and 5(b–c) sclerotised, apically hooked and upcurved, apex sharp. Posterior margin of sternum 9 (Figure 5a–b, 5d) produced, medially with a subquadrate brown hammer which bears darker distal margin.
