In the wing veins the species exhibit great conformity, the second subcostal vein, the upper median vein in the forewing as well as in the hindwing rise before the cell-end.
22.
Tephritids are small to medium-sized ( 2.5 10 mm ) flies that are often colourful, and usually with pictured wings, the subcostal vein curving forward at a right angle.
23.
Hindwing : costal margin broadly dark brownish; wing posteriorly from below the subcostal vein and vein 6a beautiful pale bluish-grey; a broad whitish streak beyond the cell not reaching the termen.
24.
In the hindwing the cell is possibly still shorter than in most of the other Eryrinidae; on the forewing the first subcostal vein branches off just before the cell-end, the second directly behind it.
25.
This genus is characterized by two of the five subcostal veins branching off before the apex of the cell, by the upper radial being only little united with the subcostal, and by the central discocellular being rather long.
26.
The anterior end of the sclerite is generally produced as a slender arm, the apex of which ( e ) is always associated with the base of the subcostal vein ( Sc ), though it is not united with the latter.
27.
Adults are dark shining grey with a red-brown streak at the end of the cell on the forewings, as well as some minute silvery specks along the costa, in the cell and interspace below the subcostal vein and along the outer margin.
28.
On the forewing the lowest subcostal vein and the uppermost radial vein rise from the same place; the cell is shorter than half the costal margin, the transverse vein runs rectilinearly, the upper median and lower radial rise from the lower cell-angle.
29.
Wing-venation : The subcostal vein merges into the anterior alar margin near its midpoint; radial vein 1 reaches the distal quarter of wings, there usually fused with radial vein 2 + 3; radial vein 4 is branched proximal to the anterior crossvein of the wing.
30.
It is formed by the union of the ascending lumbar veins with the right subcostal veins at the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra, ascending in the posterior mediastinum, and arching over the right main bronchus posteriorly at the root of the right lung to join the superior vena cava.
