radial and cubital longer than their common petiole, which forms an 

 angle near its base, and is connected with t!ie third externo-medial by 

 an angular veinlet very near its fork ; radial forked near its base, its 

 fore fork connected by a sliort veinlet with the subcostal very near the 

 tip of the latter ; first and second externo-medial veins longer than 

 their common petiole, which springs from the angular veinlet before 

 mentioned, and which is connected by a veinlet at its fork witii the 

 fore branch of the third externo-medial ; third externo-medial connected 

 with the subanal l)y a veinlet in the short space between its fork and 

 its junction with the cubital; discal areolet long, narrow, pentagonal.

SUBSECTION 1. 



Mediastinal vein ending at rather beyond two-thirds of the length 

 of the wing ; subcostal ending a little beyond five-sixths of the length ; 

 radial and cubital springing from a common petiole, which fuUy equals 

 them in length, and proceeds from the subcostal at about one-third of 

 the length of the wing ; radial forked near its base ; its fore fork con- 

 nected very near the base by a transverse veinlet with the subcostal ; 

 cubital forming near its base an angle, from whence a transverse vein- 

 let joins it with the first externo-medial; the latter is connected by an 

 opposite transverse veinlet with the third externo-medial, to which it is 

 also united nearer the tip of the wing by an angular veinlet, whence 

 springs the second externo-medial ; third externo-medial joined to the 

 subanal by an oblique veinlet, which is not opposite the discal areolet, 

 but nearer the base of the wing ; axillary vein short.
