 again excised, sUghtly waved ; veins 3, 4 stalked ; 5 from just above angle of 

 cell ; from below upper angle ; 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked ; 11 from cell. Hindwing 

 with the termen produced to a point at vein 7, excurved at veins 4 and 3, then 

 excised and produced to a point at vein 2 ; veins 3, 4 stalked ; 5 somewhat 

 obsolescent from just below middle of discoceUulars ; 6, 7 from upper angle ;
