only to about half the wing-leiigth from the base. O-wing to 

 the narrowness of the wing, all the main veins tend to assume a 

 nearly parallel course: the hindwing has only six specialised 

 cross-veins, three near the base, and three just beyonfi the 

 middle. Fringe of posterioi' margin very long: in hindwing, 

 near the base, its hairs are longer than the wing is wide.
