 ending on the costa far beyond the apex of the discoidal cell ; first sub- 

 costal nerviile arising about one-fourth before the end of the cell, termi- 

 nating on the costa about opposite to the origin of the third subcostal ; 

 second subcostal originating far beyond the end of the cell, ending on the 

 costa at about opposite to the origin of the fourth subcostal ; third 

 subcostal arising about midway between the second and the fourth, termi- 

 nating on the costa well before the apex of the wing ; fourth subcostal long, 

 terminating on the costa before the apex of the wing ; terminal portion of 

 the subcostal nervure longer that the fourth subcostal nervule, ending on 

 the outer margin below the apex of the wing ; upjyer disco-cellular 

 nervule short, straight, upright ; middle disco-oellular concave, strongly
