Malk. FoRewing, costa strongly and regularly arched; apex 

 rounded; outer margin nearly straight] inner angle acute; inner 

 margin at first slightly emarginate, then just beyond the middle 

 strongly bowed outwards ; costal nervure swollen at base, ending on 

 the costa beyond the apex of the discoidal cell ; first subcostal nerval- 

 emitted at about one-fifth before the end of the cell, terniinatin "■ 

 on the costa about opposite to the origin of the third subcostal ; 

 second subcostal originating a little before the end of the cell, ending 

 on the costa a little before the origin of the fourth subcostal ; third 

 subcostal arising exactly midway between the apex of the cell and 

 the origin of the fourth subcostal, terminating on the costa about 

 midway between the origin of the fourth subcostal and the apex 

 of the wing; fourth subcostal short, ending at the apex of the 

 wing ; terminal portion of subcostal nervure longer than the fourth 

 subcostal nervule, ending on the outer margin below the apex 

 of the wing ; upper disco-cellular nervule extremely short ; middle 

 disco-cellular about one-fourth as long as the lower disco- 

 cellular, straight, strongly inwardly oblique ; lower disco-cellular afc 

 first strongly inwardly oblique, in a straight line with the middle 

 disco-cellular (this portion being a little longer than that vein), then 

 suddenly curved and strongly outwardly oblique, straight posterior 

 to the curve ; median nervure strongly swollen at base ; third median 

 nervule strongly curved ; second median arising long before the lower 

 end of the cell ; discoidal cell reaching exactly to the middle of 

 the wing; sub median nervure swollen at base, beyond this swollen 

 portion distorted and deflected downwards, afterwards straight 

 to the outer margin ; a large patch of androconia occupying 

 the lobe -like dilatation of the inner margin, and extending as
