Diagnosis and Notes

The maxillae have no teeth, and the mandibles have a reduced number (from four to nine). The species described by Kremer (1966) as truncorum is in fact clintoni since he mentions that the maxillae have no teeth and the larvae were found in peat bogs in the Vosges mountains. The wings are pale, with two vague pale spots, one over the cross-vein and another just beyond the dark second radial cell; additionally, a series of very vague pale spots at the wing margin in cells r5, m1, m2, cu and an. The female AR is 1.26-1.38; the SD is 3, 13-15, occasionally also on 12. The male genitalia have the ventral root of the basistyle foot-shaped, the posterior edge of the ninth tergite with prominent lateral processes and a shallow central notch.
The figure of the wing is from Delecolle (1985) and of the genitalia from Kremer (1966) (as truncorum).
