using the same names (in a modified form) for the veins and cells 

 of the hind wing as for those of the fore wing we have had in mind 

 more the idea of conformity to previous nomenclature and the 

 avoidance of the introduction of new terms than the tracing of 

 analogies between the two wings. If analogy exists between the 

 fore and hind wings it is not always traceable, at least with our 

 present knowledge of wing morphology, and from a taxonomic 

 standpoint is not of any great importance as the taxonomist is 

 primarily concerned with a definite name for a definite thing. 



Section I. -Cells. 



Gostellan Cell. XI in all figures where it occurs. 



The area between subcostella and costella or between sul>- 

 costella and the anterior margin of wing. 



Synonyms: Costal cell Cameron 1882, Morley 1903, Fernald 1906. 

 Costal areolet Marshall 1885. Cellule costale Berthoumieu 1904. Co^tul- 

 celle Nielsen and Henriksen 1915. Areola brachialis Andre 1879. f 

 MacGillivray 1906. C + Sc + Sc 1 Fernald 1906. 



Radiellan Cell. XII in all figures where it occurs. 



The anterior apical cell bounded posteriorly by radiella and 

 anteriorly by stigmella and metacarpella or the anterior margin 

 of wing. Occasionally in Braconidae (fig. 3) divided by a 

 cross-vein (interradiella). 



Synonyms: Radial cell Ashmead 1900, Fernald 1906, Cameron 18s - J. 

 Radial areoZef Marshall 1885. Cellule radiale Berthoumieu 1904. Mar- 

 ginal cell Ashmead 1900. Radialzelle Enslin 1912. Radialcelle Nielson 

 and Henriksen 1915. Ri + R 2 MacGillivray 1906, Fernald 1906. 



Appendiculatellan cell. Not illustrated. 



The usually incomplete area formed between the anterior mar- 

 gin of wing and a spurious branch or extension of radiella beyond 

 the closed apical end of radiellan. Occurs rarely in Chala-to- 

 gastra. 



Synonyms: Appendicular cell Cameron 1882. Anhangszelle Enslin 

 1912. 



Mediellan cell. XIII, in all figures where it occurs. 



The middle basal cell, bounded anteriorly by subcostella. 

 posteriorly by mediella and apically by basella (figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 

 6), or when basella is wanting it extends to intercubitella (figs. 5 

 and 8), and both radiella and cubitella form part of its boundaries. 



Synonyms: Median cell Ashmead 1900, Morley 1903, Fernald 1900. 

 First basal cell Ashmead 1893. Cellule hrac/iiali Hcrthoumiou 190-4.
