about on line connecting tops of eyes; antennae about as long as 

 width of head, 14 to 15-jointed, second and third joints very short. 

 Pronotum hardly twice as broad as long, nearly straight across in 

 front; posterior sides rounded into the hind margin. Wing scale 

 much shorter than the pronotum. Wings about twice the lengtli of 

 the entire body; cubitus with 8 to 10 branches; median vein runs 

 closer to cubitus than to radial sector, with several branches; the 

 first in forewings usually beyond middle, in hind wings at or before 

 middle. Head with black hair, pronotum and rest of body with 

 yellow hair.

are their short diameter from the eyes; the fontanelle is on a line 

 connecting the tops of the eyes; the clypeus is pale yellowish, and 

 the pronotum is not so much narrowed behind as in that species; 

 the color of the hair and wings is the same. It is a rather larger 

 species. The antennae 15-jointed, dark beyond middle. 



Length to tip of wings, 14 to 15 mm.
