head; the hind angles protracted into triangulär lobes. Mesothorax and metathorax not very 

 distinct, seemingly as broad as the prothorax, side lobes more rounded. 



Fore wings shorter than the abdomen, three times longer than broad, rounded on tips, 

 anterior margins in a very flat curve, posterior nearly straight; base of the wing a little 

 narrower than the tip, rounded posteriorly. The whole margin around the wing is bordered 

 by a strong vein, thickly beset with oblique darker stripes or tubercles; and at larger intervals 

 with longer stiff hairs, set in holes, mostly on the veins, some near by in the membranous part 

 of the wings. On middle vein is soon furcated beyond the base into a superior and an in- 

 ferior branch. The superior branch provides the anterior half of the wing; it is furcated very 

 soon again, the two branches running parallel and uniting at about the middle of the lenght 

 of the wing by an oblique vein. From the upper end of this oblique vein goes a short branch 

 straight to the anterior margin of the wing, and two longer ones to its rounded apex, the 

 inferior of them again furcated at about its middle ; from the inferior end of the oblique vein 

 goes one branch, furcated half-way to the inferior part of the wing -apex; the inferior 

 branch of the two last ones is, in the other wing, furcated again a short distance from the 

 margin. The inferior branch of the furcation just beyond the base of the wing is again fur- 

 cated just before the middle of the wing, and its superior branch again; so it goes, somewhat 

 incurved, with three veins, to the apical half of the hinder margin. There go one (or two) 

 straight veins from the basis in an oblique line to the basal half of the posterior margin. I am 

 not sure whether a short oblique vein goes from the basis to the anterior margin. The right 

 wing is more irregulär, and it seems that the inferior branch, distributed to the apical half of 

 the hinder margin, comes from the superior one, somewhat in front of the oblique vein, and 

 that its two inferior branches are derived, as in the other wing, from the basis. All veins are 

 beset at intervals with stiff hairs, like the marginal vein. 



The hind wings are similar in shape to the fore wings, but shorter and narrower. The 

 surrounding marginal vein similar but not so strong. There are none of the long hairs in the 

 hind wing. A middle vein gives off in the first third an oblique branch to the hind margin. 

 This is the only vein in the hind wings reaching the marginal vein. All others cease more or 

 less abruptly before reaching them. Shortly after a similar oblique vein goes to the anterior 

 margin. In the middle of the length of the wing the main vein is branched, and gives a long 

 inferior branch going to the hind margin near the tip without reaching it; then, the superior 

 branch furcates in two parallel branches going to the tip; the inferior one shows posteriorly 

 an indication of the beginning of a branch. 



Legs long, stout, the posterior longer than the abdomen ; femurs stout and thick (perhaps 

 the species jumps like many Psocidae); tibia cylindrical, as long as the femur, slightly hairy, 

 with two movable spines on the apex below; tarsi 3-jointed, one-third shorter than the tibia, 

 cylindrical, the last Joint long, the two others equal, and together two-thirds of the length of the 

 basal Joint; at the apex of the last Joint two claws, ticker at their bases, the apex fine, a little 

 bent at tip; between the claws a rounded plantula. 



Abdomen ovoid, more pointed toward the apex. The egg-valves very clearly visible 

 (the specimen is a female); two exterior membranous, elongated lobes, two horny interior 

 stems, long, narrow, perhaps articulated ; the apical part bent inward, and the tip again outward
