Male genitalia ( Fig. 61). Uncus slender; socius large, with long hairs; gnathos rather short; valva semioval with distinct brachiola; sacculus slender basally, convex in median area, with slender terminal part; lateral lobes of transtilla elongate, thorny; aedeagus with dentate tip, two large spindle-shaped cornuti.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 94). Papilla analis and apophyses moderate; sterigma with rounded lateroproximal corners and well sclerotized cup-shaped part fused with posterior part of the sclerite of antrum; proximal part of antrum weakly sclerotized; ductus bursae moderate, without sclerites; signum a rounded sclerite without blade.

Remarks. Described from 5 specimens of which 3 are present in the collection of RMCA. The lectotype was selected by Aarvik in 1998 but was not published until the present paper. We are placing pylora in Epichoristodes Diakonoff, 1960 mainly on the basis of the similarity of its uncus, valva and transtilla with the other representatives of this genus.
