the margin before the end of the cell, one from the end of it and one 

 behind the cell, and attains the margin just before the tip. The median 

 sends three branches to the dorsal margin. (Probably the discal branch 

 above mentioned should more properly be considered the terminal portion 

 of the median and the discal described as having no branches.) Sub- 

 median simple. 



Secondaries linear lanceolate. The costal vein is very long and close 

 to the margin ; the subcostal attains the tip, its basal half being obsolete. 

 Discal cell unclosed ; median sub-dividing into four equidistant branches, 

 the first of which attains the dorsal margin before the middle, and the last 

 one not far from the tip.
