140 FOSSIL INSECTS OF THE BRITISH COAL MEASURES. 



reaching the Aving-apex, curving inwards as it docs so. The junctions of the 

 branches of the radial sector are destroyed. ItAvould sei'iu to have begun between 

 the radius and the median as an accessory vein, rather than as an offshoot of the 

 radius. Its branches occupy the outer half of the wing-apex. The median is a 

 large and important vein, dividing near the base into two branches. The outer 

 branch is undivided until close to the distal did of the outer margin, where it gives 

 off an outer and two inner twigs. The inner branch of the median gives off five 

 simple inner twigs, and an outer one which forks close to the margin. The cubitus 

 is represented by two veins, an outer vein which remains undivided and an inner 

 which gives off at least five twigs. It is possible that the vein which I thus describe 

 as the cubitus is reallv part of a cubito-anal, but as the basal part is missing the 

 exact conditions cannot be determined. The inner margin of the wing is nearly 

 straight. 



Affinities. The wing-structure, so far as it can be made out, is much like that 

 of Vnrnli'ijHx ,v.vr////f//,/,<x, Scd., and l'r<>iit<j r'uni <ni<lvuii/!, Brong., and of these it 

 more nearly accords with Ihe latter in its great length as contrasted with the 

 breadth. The plication of the wing is unusually well developed, and is a feature 

 best seen in P. <r>r////n/V/'x. The presence of accessory sectors is again a feature 

 seen in ]'rt-itii</r!<>n. The general wing-structure, therefore, has certain characters 

 of both genera, and where it departs from the one it approaches the other.
