. The type-specimen lies on the surface of one half of an ironstone 

 nodule, the counterpart being lost. It was obtained bv Mr. Edward Charlesworth

The remains consist of portions of two pairs of wing's, those of the left side 

 being most nearly complete. In no case is the apex of the wing or the inner
