Pterostigmal area granulated. On hind wing R^ ending on Sc at around anastomosis, cross­vein r linking R^ and R2+3 present, Sc long, ending on C well beyond anastomosis, fork 1 absent. Fifth abdominal sternite with an unmodified lateral ridge and sixth sternite has a moderately long narrow apicomesal process. Male genitalia. Ninth abdominal segment forms a complete ring except the deep ante­riodorsal excision. In lateral aspect the anterior margin blunt, triangular, without any nar­row apodeme. Tenth segment forms an unusually well-separated two-paired process. Upper pair bears a small ventral tooth around midway and the lower pair bears a more developed dorsal tooth. Between them there is a small saddle-shaped sclerite with an anteriodorsal elongation which appears clearly while the aedeagus was separated from the genitalia and remained attached to the dorsum of the aedeagus. Similar sclerite was found by KIMMINS at Agapetus tamrangensis Kimmins, 1964 attached to the removed aedeagus and questioned as Fig. 1. Agapetus dangorum sp. n. - A= male genitalia, lateral, B= dorsal, C= ventral, D= phallic apparatus, lateral, E= fifth and sixth abdominal sternites, lateral, F= male wings, G= female genitalia, lateral, H= female eighth segment, dorsal the tenth sternite. Its homology still remains obscure, but seems to belong to the tenth seg­ment. Superior appendages long, digitate, slightly flattened laterally. Inferior appendages longer than tenth segment almost parallel in lateral aspect and downcurving from midway. Two-three small subapical teeth in ventral aspect, but asymmetric on the two appendages. Phallic apparatus forms a long slightly sclerotized tube with a more sclerotized unpaired dorsal process and with a long terminal irregular process, elastic and membrahous. This may represent, however, the unsclerotized flexible matrix situated between the branches of the tenth segments. Female. Distinctly widened and flattened tibiae and tarsi on midlegs present. Fifth ab­dominal sternite with an unmodified lateral,ridge similar to male, but on the sixth sternite a very short apicomesal process is present. Eighth abdominal segment synscleriotized but the sclerite is restricted to the figured area. T;he sclerite continues in a long slender anterior apodeme and bears a triangular posterior process enclosing a deep excision in dorsal aspect.
