wings with the marginal vein as long as the marginal cell, or about 2}^ 

 times as long as the oblique first abscissa of radius. Antennae 15-jointed, 

 filiform, the first joint of flagellum about two-thirds the length of the 

 scape, the following joints to the sixth gradually shortening ; joints 7 to 

 I [ much shorter, subequal, about twice as long as thick; the 12th very 

 little longer than thick, the last joint thicker, ovate, nearly as long as the 

 two preceding united.

 joint the longest, not more than thrice as long as thick, the joints beyond 

 very gradually shortening, the three or four penultimate joints only a little 

 longer than thick, the terminal joint conical, only a little longer than the 

 preceding joint. Wings hyaline, the tegula^ yellowish, the veins brownish,
