Fig. 3 View Fig
Diagnosis
Both teeth of mandible blunt and of subequal length ( Fig. 3K View Fig ); first discal cell of fore wing comparatively wide ( Fig. 3F View Fig ); second submarginal cell of fore wing large and wide; metasomal carapace coarsely rugose ( Fig. 3H View Fig ); temple as long as eye in dorsal view ( Fig. 3B View Fig ); hind tibia weakly swollen ( Fig. 3E View Fig ); mesosternum with satiny sheen and superficially coriaceous; parastigma dark brown and vein 1-M of fore wing brown.
Etymology
Named after the blunt and subequal mandibular teeth, from the Latin ‘ aequoreus ’ for ‘same level’ and ‘ dens ’ for ‘tooth’.
