Epifhala))iiu!n, gen. nov. 



Differs irom Arinacia Stal by the radial vein not being forked 

 near tbe base. 



The tegmina are broad, nearly as broad as long, and rounded 

 apically; the radial vein is joined to a refurcation of the median 

 by a slight, transverse vein, a little basal of the middle; apical 

 of this the radial forks, the outer branch being joined almost 

 immediately by a slight, transverse vein to the exterior subapical 

 cell (which is curved and encroaches on the costal cell apically). 

 The median vein forks at about a third the length of the teg- 

 men. There is a fairly regular subapica] line, and two very 

 irregular transverse lines basal of this.
