CURRIE 



widened on the inner side ; apical two-thirds, before the bluntly- 

 pointed apex, with outer and inner sides nearly parallel; outer side 

 slightly convex, with a few small, short spines or denticles; inferior 



side grooved, with a rather prominent 

 tooth near the base ; above, a prominent 

 median longitudinal carina on the 

 widened portion, this carina sharp and 

 strongly elevated apically. Inferior ap- 

 pendage less than one-half as long as the 

 superiors, subtriangular, strongly grooved 

 above ; apex narrow, truncate, a little 

 upcurved. 



Wings hyaline, with a uniform slight 

 fuscous tinge, the posterior ones yellow- 

 ish at extreme base. Antenodal portion 

 of costa and some transverse veins in 

 basal part of wing pale, other veins black. 

 Pterostigma almost black. Membranule 

 cinereous, its basal third or fourth whit- 

 ish. Supra-triangular space with one 

 transverse vein in hind wings, none in 

 front wings ; triangle with four cells, two 

 on proximal side (one on this side in 

 right hind wing of this specimen) ; in- 

 ternal triangle i -eel led (2-celled in left 

 forewing) ; on or more columns of four 

 cells between subnodal sector and the sup- 

 plementary sector below it; fore wings 

 with 13-14 antecubitals in first series (14 

 in right wing, 13 in left), 10 postcubi- 

 tals; hind wings with 8-10 antecubitals 

 (8 in right wing, 10 in left), 11 postcubitals ; ist and 5th antecubitals 

 thicker than the others (ist and 7th in left hind wing) ; anal triangle 

 3-celled. 



Female. — Differs from the male as follows : brown area on dorsum 

 of 2 covering all but two apical spots and a transverse stripe, inter- 

 rupted in the middle just in front of the carina ; dorsal median trans- 

 verse spot large on both 7 and 8; 10 almost wholly pale, without 

 basal teeth on dorsum but with more numerous denticles on its apical 

 margin above and with many beneath. Appendages slender, lanceo- 

 late, as long as 9 -f 10. Genital valves reaching a little beyond apex
