tor through its middle third, then diverging and forming with 

 radius 4 plus 5 a triangular stylate terminal cell ; cubitus un- 

 branched, connected by two cross veins with medius ; three 

 anal veins. Radial cell undivided; cell radius one narrowed 

 apically ; first radius three nearly quadrangular ; second radius 

 three smaller ; radius five terminal, triangular ; first medial cell 

 triangular; second medial cell larger, constricted medially; 

 medius two smaller than first radius three ; medius four equal- 

 ling first medius in size. In the hind wing, radial vein two- 

 branched, radius 4 plus 5 not confluent with medius i plus 2, 

 but connected by a short cross vein ; medial vein two-branch- 

 ed ; cubital vein unbranched ; cell radius three small, shorter 

 than radius five, \vhich is terminal truncate ; other cells about 

 as in Stictoccphala. 



Type of the Genus, Membracis snbulata Say. 



Stictolobus subulatus Say.
