Keilbachia scutica sp. n.

Discussion. Keilbachia scutica is similar to K. flagrispina Mohrig by having a long mesial megaseta and by having the tegmen with straight lateral sides and apex. Keilbachia scutica can be distinguished from K. flagrispina by having the sensillar pit of the maxillary palp much wider (Figs. 1 F, 2B), and the basal body of the mesial megaseta of the gonostylus simple, not basally narrowed (Fig. 7).
