at tip: palpi white; wings hyaline; stigma slender, blackish; 

 second cubital cellule rather large, quadrangular, more or less 

 petiolated from the radial cellule, anterior recurrent, nervure a 

 little arcuated, not augulated and with a white bulla : second 

 recurrent nervure rectilinear, with a white bulla ; metathorax 

 with an impressed longitudinal line, and a transverse raised one 

 at base ; abdomen honey-yellow ; first joint white at base ; second 

 joint blackish above : feet, posterior pair honey-yellow, tarsi 

 blackish ; intermediate pair white, with honey-yellow thighs ; an- 

 terior pair white. 



Length nine-twentieths of an inch. 



I place this in the genus Ophion because of the compressed, 

 falcate abdomen, notwithstanding the existence of the second 

 cubital cellule. [241]
