Hind wings narrow (LW/BW = 2.3) with a narrow but distinct anal lobe (Fig. 2F); gonostyli in lateral view with anterodorsal process partly covering pygofer, strongly, roundly downcurved and with apex directed ventrad (Fig. 3A); anal tube in dorsal view strongly elongate and constricted in middle portion (Fig. 3B) ........................................................................... Gelastopsis croydonensis sp. nov. – Hind wings very narrow (LW/BW = 2.7) with strongly reduced anal lobe (Fig. 16E); gonostyli in lateral view with anterodorsal process partly covering pygofer, slightly downcurved and with apex directed cephalad (Fig. 17K); anal tube in dorsal view elongate, generally spatulate, weakly constricted slightly before midlength (Fig. 17L) ............
