which ruu out on the hind margin ; the second being formed by 

 the subanal springing from the pobrachial vein. At other times 

 the first externo-median arises exactly at the end of the prsebra- 

 chial areolet ("interstitial"), or else (as in most with one entire 

 cubital areolet) from the prsebrachial vein, a little before the end 

 of the areolet. I have treated the two strong veins behind the 

 costal as radial and cubital, and the faint vein before them as sub- 

 costal (supposing the mediastinal to be obliterated). But if the 

 faint trace of a forked vein towards the apex of the wing figured 

 by Winnertz in a few, is not (as I suppose) a spurious vein, it 

 would be the cubital, and my cubital would = the true radial, and 

 my radial would ^ the subcostal, and my subcostal would = the 

 mediastinal."— //«/. MSS.

 Antennae eleven-jointed, shorter than the thorax ; the short joints

 third and last elongate, this elliptical. Thorax projecting over the 

 head ; scutellum and sides of the thorax before the wings pale yellowish; 

 mesonotum divided by two parallel sutures, with an elevated line down 

 the middle, and a depression before the convex semich-cular scutellum ; 

 metathorax very short ; mesostcrnura gibbous. Wings adiaphauous, 

 naked, except the pubescent margin ; prccbrachial vein bifurcated about 

 the middle, embracing the apex with its branches ; pobrachial forked 

 near the margin, with the hinder branch (or the subanal vein) recurved, 

 ending at the posterior margin ; radial-cubital vein fainter between the 

 prfcbrachial and the costa, ending at about the middle of the latter ; 

 anal vein simple. Abdomen dusky, with nacreous gloss, shorter than 

 the thorax, dilated backwards ; the segments linear-transverse, llypo-
