Crown short, broadly rounded, three-fifths as long as wide, tylus shorter on midline than crown, its defining sutures ending abruptly just in front of ocelli; antenna with short postpedicel partially withdrawn into tip of pedicel, bearing arista on anterodorsal edge, a central globular basiconic sensillum almost entirely withdrawn into prominently rimmed pit, and behind this a large pit containing several coeloconic sensilla surrounded by prominent marginal spines (Figs 30–31 C) that obscure the number of sensilla, which apparently number at least 7; rostrum extending beyond mesotrochanters but not beyond hind coxae; head narrower (0.75–0.80 ×) than pronotum, lateral margins of pronotum scarcely 0.3 × as long as interocular distance; rostrum extending beyond mesotrochanters but not reaching hind coxae; pronotum shiny, obscurely punctured; scutellum weakly convex. Tegmina smooth except for small punctures (more prominent than those on thorax), opaque, veins strongly indicated only on claval suture and basal half of large costal plaque (Fig. 4 B). Hind wing with 4–5 tiny hooks on large, triangular process of costal margin. Fore femur slender, 1.3 × as long as stouter hind femur; hind femur slender, 4 × as long as wide across apex; pectens of hind tibia with 10–13 spines, those of basitarsomere with 8–10 spines, of second tarsomere with 7–9 spines with long setae. Male anal tube with large, oblique basal segment; paraprocts nearly as long as 11 th segment including epiproct; pygofer weakly scleritized, ventrolateral process an inturned spine, dorsal process large, triangular, articulated (Fig. 5 C); subgenital plates fingerlike, weakly articulated (Fig. 5 B); style as in Pseudomachaerota; theca heavily sclerotized, stout, in lateral aspect curved apically, truncated (Fig. 5 C), in posterior aspect narrowed just before enlarged, cordate base, tapered beyond midlength, fringed with serrate flange around gonopore on posterior face (Fig. 5 D). Ovipositor 2 nd valvulae 1.2 mm long, slender, weakly curved and tapered (Fig. 17 Q). Included species. Two new species, differing chiefly in colour, and a possible third known only from an unassociated female.
