Neuration : forewing, cell nearly two-thirds of wing, constricted towards 

 extremity, the subcostal vein especially being deflexed ; discocellular inangnlated 

 close below upper end of cell, then oblique and angnlated outwards at middle ; the 

 lower third vertical; first median nervnle at one-half, second at five-sixths ; lower
