superior branches, all of which join the costa before the apex of the wing, and 

 sometimes a few indistinct inferior branches near the apex; the media branches 

 within the wing stump, traverses the wing just above the middle and nearer to 

 the cubitus than to the radial sector, has three or four branches, the second of 

 which generally joins the radial sector towards the apex of the wing, where it 

 is thickened; the cubitus is indistinct and has about 12 branches, some of which

terminate just below the apex of the wing. In the hindwing the subcosta is 

 wanting and the media branches well beyond the cross suture. The wing-stumps 

 of the forewing are very mucii larger than those of the hindwing, which they 

 nearly cover, the surface bears a few minute setae and the cross suture is con- 

 vex. 



Legs (Fig. 37) short and moderately stout, tibiae slightly widened at apex 

 and moderately setaceous; 1st tarsal as long as 2nd and 3rd together. Tibial 

 spines 3 : 3 : 3, serrate. 



Abdomen elongate, slightly widened beyond the middle, bluntly rounded at 

 apex, segments with scanty fine setae. Cerci short and very stout at base.
