Narosa

(holotype)

8mm.
Externally the species resembles silati but differs in the male genitalia: the
central process of the valve is much smaller, more spherical, more coarsely
scobinate dorsally; the costal process is two-thirds the length of the costa,
straight and almost parallel to it after the dorsal margin angles at right
angles subbasally; the aedeagus is as in silati. A specimen from Peninsular
Malaysia has the costal process somewhat shorter, broader, slightly curved, but
is otherwise similar.
