Section 1. 



«. Wings with a cliscal areolet. 



h. l'"iist extcrao-medial veiu forked. Radial vein forked. 



c. Fork of the first exteruo-inedial vein with a petiole between it and the dis- 

 cal areolets. 

 d. Two veiulets between the subaual vein and the third externo-medial. 



This division comprises two very dissimilar sections. 



AntennfB of the male longer than the thorax. Wings not dilated ; 

 mediastinal vein ending far before two-thirds of the length of the wing, 

 joined to the subcostal by a veinlet very near its tip ; subcostal ending 

 at about four-fifths of the length ; radial and cubital springing from a 

 common petiole, which they rather exceed in length, and which pro- 

 ceeds from the subcostal at a little before half the length of the wing, 

 and forms a nearly right angle, rejecting a rudimentary vein at its base ; 

 radial foriced beyond one-fourth of its length ; cubital joined near its 

 base to the third externo-medial by a veinlet, whose angle emits the 

 first externo-medial, the latter is forked at two-thirds of its length, and 

 is connected with the third externo-medial by a veinlet, whose angle 

 emits the second externo-medial; third externo-medial connected with 

 the subanal by two veinlets, one before half the length of the wing, 

 the other much before the middle of the discal areolet; subaual curved 

 abruptly to the hind border ; axillary slightly undulating ; discal areolet 

 hexagonal, more than twice longer than broad.
