Exoprosopa loxospila-section Representatives of this section have the wings narrow basally, appearing stalked, with the alula and axillary lobe narrower than in most other species and with the basal part of lower vein of discoidal cell not sharply or angularly bent towards fourth posterior cell, causing the third posterior cell to appear more quadrangular or even triangular. The second posterior cell is also relatively broad apically, only a little narrower or sometimes as broad as third posterior cell. Exoprosopa loxospila n. sp.
