Description. Adult. Coloration. Ochreous to light brown; clavus dark brown to almost black, remigium lighter.

Structure. Body, in dorsal view, narrowly ovoid. Head slightly indented in middle of fore margin, each half of fore margin slightly convex; anterior rim indistinctly delimited from membrane; areolae, in longitudinal body axis, relatively short; eyes strongly recessive; hind margin of eye and postero-lateral margin of head forming almost a right angle. Pronotum with poorly defined median longitudinal ridge, strongly irregularly punctate posteriorly and postero-laterally. Paranota relatively large with broadly curved margins; punctate postero-ventrally. Tegmen with vein M developed basally, basal radial cell without additional veins in apical half of vein M+CuA. Male and female terminalia as in Figs. 30 View FIGURES 21 – 33 , 37, 44 View FIGURES 34 – 47 , 51, 58 View FIGURES 48 – 61 , 68, 69 View FIGURES 62 – 73 . Male anal tube irregularly conical, in dorsal view, widest in basal third, evenly narrowing to apex. Pygophore with comparatively long and narrow median posterior tooth; posterolateral edges distinctly angular. Parameres long, subacute apically. Aedeagus, in anterior view, with wide, irregularly shaped head distally, which is distinctly indented latero-distally, and with obtusely rounded antero-proximal lobes; posterior outline of neck, in profile, with distinct angle; spines on neck short, coarse and numerous. Female tergite 9 with ventral margin strongly convexly curved in apical third. Ventral teeth of valvulae 1 conspicuously large.

Measurements and ratios in Tables 1 and 2.

Fifth instar ( Fig. 77 View FIGURES 74 – 79 ). Anterior head margin weakly convex or almost straight. Posterior lobes of abdominal segment 9 stout, blunt apically; ventrite 9 covered with setae but lacking microscopical spinules; rear margin of male genital capsule, in ventral view, ending laterally and medially at about the same level ( Fig. 83 View FIGURES 80 – 85 ). Measurements and ratios in Table 3 View TABLE 3 .

Etymology. Named after Kinloch, the area where the type series was collected.
