3. Anterior margin of wing with hyaline triangular indentation near junction of vein C with apical part of vein R1, extending posteriorly to vein R4+5 or beyond, cell c with or without hyaline patches (Figs. 1–6, 9) ......................................................................... 4
­ Anterior margin of wing without hyaline triangular indentation near junction of vein C with apical part of vein R1;cell c largely hyaline, extending posteriorly at least to cell bm (Figs. 10–12) ......................................................................................................... 15
4. Scutellum white or yellow­white, with at most a single black apical spot not extending beyond apical scutellar setae ....................................................................................... 5
­ Scutellum partly white or yellow­white, with three separate or joined dark apical spots, touching base of apical and basal scutellar setae ............................................... 7
5. Anterior wing margin with cell c completely brown coloured, no hyaline areas .......... ......................................................................................................................... nigribasis

7. In dorsal view scutellar spots visible, occupying at least apical fourth (up to apical half) of scutellum ......................................................................................................... 8
­ In dorsal view scutellum white, scutellar spots not visible and restricted to ventral sur­
face ............................................................................................................................. 10 8. Inverted V­band not touching S­band (Fig. 1) ....................................... debeckeri sp.n.
