Description. Adult. Coloration. Ochreous to light brown; clavus dark brown to almost black, remigium lighter.
Structure. Body, in dorsal view, narrowly ovoid. Head slightly indented in middle of fore margin, each half of fore margin slightly convex; anterior rim indistinctly delimited from membrane; areolae, in longitudinal body axis, relatively short; eyes strongly recessive; hind margin of eye and postero-lateral margin of head forming almost a right angle. Pronotum with poorly defined median longitudinal ridge, strongly irregularly punctate posteriorly and postero-laterally. Paranota relatively large with broadly curved margins; punctate postero-ventrally. Tegmen with vein M developed basally, basal radial cell without additional veins in apical half of vein M+CuA. Male and female terminalia as in Figs. 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 68, 69. Male anal tube irregularly conical, in dorsal view, widest in basal third, evenly narrowing to apex. Pygophore with comparatively long and narrow median posterior tooth; posterolateral edges distinctly angular. Parameres long, subacute apically. Aedeagus, in anterior view, with wide, irregularly shaped head distally, which is distinctly indented latero-distally, and with obtusely rounded antero-proximal lobes; posterior outline of neck, in profile, with distinct angle; spines on neck short, coarse and numerous. Female tergite 9 with ventral margin strongly convexly curved in apical third. Ventral teeth of valvulae 1 conspicuously large.
Measurements and ratios in Tables 1 and 2.
Fifth instar (Fig. 77). Anterior head margin weakly convex or almost straight. Posterior lobes of abdominal segment 9 stout, blunt apically; ventrite 9 covered with setae but lacking microscopical spinules; rear margin of male genital capsule, in ventral view, ending laterally and medially at about the same level (Fig. 83). Measurements and ratios in Table 3.
Etymology. Named after Kinloch, the area where the type series was collected.
