 linear, rounded at the tip, about twice tlie length and breadth of the 

 second, with a distinct aperture ; sixth very reinutely pubescent, more 

 than twice the length of the third. Scutdlum ferruginous ioicards the 

 hind border. Costal vein terminating iu front of the tip of the wing ; 

 subcostal vein about one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein a little 

 more than half the length ; radial vein ending at much beyond three- 

 fourths of the length ; cubital vein joining the costal near its tip ; prae- 

 brachial vein forming a right angle at its tlexure, which emits a long 

 branch, near this it is deeply curved inward, and is thence straight to 

 its tip ; discal transverse vein with the fore curve more distinct than 

 the hinder, parted from the hind border by less, and from the flexure 

 of the proebrachial by much less than its own length. Abdo^nen ferru-

 ending beyond half the length ; radial vein ending at five-sixths of the

 with a long branch at its flexure, which forms a right angle, near this 

 it is slightly curved inward, and thence straight to its tip ; discal trans-
