 basal half of R$, middle of 1st Af2, indistinct spots in the bases of Mi 

 and Jl/3, and a patch in cell Cui. Venation: Costa strongly incras- 

 sated near the end of Sci ; 5Vi ends opposite the origin of Rs; Rs 

 short, about equal to the deflection of R 4 plus 5 ; inner ends of cells 

 7?3, RS and ist M-z in a line (see Plate XIV, fig. 7). 



Abdominal segments almost black, each sclerite with a broad pale
