 origin of the prsefurca ; the interval between the tip of the first 

 longitudinal vein and the anterior branch of the second vein is 

 five or six times shorter than the interval between the tips of the 

 two branches of the second vein ; the inner end of the second sub- 

 marginal cell is pointed, very little anterior to the inner end of 

 the first posterior cell ; the third vein is straight and very little 

 convergent with the anterior branch of the fourth ; the inner end 

 of the marginal cell (angle of the prajfurca) almost acute ; the 

 inner ends of the first and fourth posterior, and of the discal cell, 

 nearly in one line. Abdomen brown above ; margins of the seg-
