Per Kessel & Clopton, 1970: Anterior crossvein present; body short and plump; 2nd costal cell scalpel-blade shaped; M1+2 branched; Posterior crossvein (fractionally) under 1/2 its length removed from wing margin on M3+4; 1st basal cell about 2/3 as long as 2nd costal (as opposed to almost length of 2nd costal) = Paraplatypeza.

The options thereof - admittedly 46 years ago - are 'orange and yellow, trimmed with black' (ikekeba - Southern Africa) or 'grayish brown' (congoensis - central Africa). I can't find Bowden's 1973 description of a 3rd Paraplatypeza from East Africa, so I'm removing the cf (which I hope is not a mistake) and leaving this at Paraplatypeza.


EDIT: I suspect that my eyes deceived me. With a ruler, the Posterior crossvein appears to be closer to 3/4 its length removed from the wing margin along M3 + 4, so this should fall into Plesioclythia instead
