Diagnosis.

Body robust (Figs 16–19 View Figures 16–21 ). The anterior margin of the vertex is arc-shaped, and the posterior margin is concave, nearly parallel to each other. The width of the vertex is almost equal to the thorax, and its median length is less than the width between the eyes. Coronal suture is prominent, extending to the middle of vertex, with shallow depressions on both sides; the lateral margin of the pronotum has an inverted trapezoid transverse concavity (Figs 16 View Figures 16–21 , 18 View Figures 16–21 ). Forewing RP and MP’ veins healed at base, and the terminal veins all originate from the m cell, which is wider and longer than the c cell and the r cell. The 3 rd apical is triangular, and the submarginal veins of the 2 nd apical are nearly parallel (Fig. 20 View Figures 16–21 ). Hindwing CuA veins are unbranched (Fig. 21 View Figures 16–21 ).

Male abdominal apodemes are well developed and parallel (Fig. 22 View Figures 22–31 ). Pygofer appendage elongate (Fig. 31 View Figures 22–31 ). Subgenital plate arranged a row of macrosetae (Fig. 30 View Figures 22–31 ). Aedeagus has a preatrium, with a process at the base of shaft in ventral view or not (Fig. 27 View Figures 22–31 ). Paramere slender, curved in a semicircle at the apex, and fine setae are present on the inner margin at the curved portion (Figs 28 View Figures 22–31 , 29 View Figures 22–31 ).
