388 CURRIE 



Superior appendages a little shorter than segments 9 -f- 10, brownish, 

 with short, sparse hairs. Viewed from above, they are subparallel in 

 their apical half; basal half with inner margins concave, this con- 

 cavity caused by the basal constriction of the appendage ; apex ob- 

 tuse, rounded, with a small terminal spine on the outer side directed 

 backwards. Viewed from the side, the appendage curves downward 

 strongly from its base, widening to the middle, where it is widest, and 

 where there is a prominent tooth, on the basal side of which are sev-

eral denticles; beyond this tooth the superior and inferior margins are 

 straight, subparallel up to the rounded apex and horizontal. 



Inferior appendage exceeding the tooth of the superiors by more 

 than one-fourth of the former's length. Viewed from beneath, its 

 lateral margins are slightly convergent from base to apex ; the apex 

 broad, rather deeply excised, outline of excision nearly straight in 

 middle portion and ivithout a tubercle. Viewed from the side, it is 

 slightly concave, a little widened in the middle ; extreme tip black, up- 

 curved, forming a minute blunt hook. 



Wings yellowish fusco-hyaline, this color darkest between triangle 

 and front margin (darker on posterior wings than on anterior) ; the 

 portion of the wings basad of the arculus, from costa to hind margin, 

 is almost clear hyaline with the exception of the extreme base. Vena- 

 tion dark brown or black, lighter basally near front margin. Ptero- 

 stigma long, rather narrow, dark yellowish, veined with black, sur- 

 mounting one entire cellule and portions of two others. Membranule 

 small, grayish. lo-ii antecubitals in first series on front wings (10 

 on left side, 11 on right), 6 on hind wings ; 9 postcubitals on front 

 wings, lo-ii on hind wings (10 on left wing, 11 on right, in this 

 specimen), the first three or four postcubitals occurring only in the first 

 series. Three rows of discoidal areolets on anterior wings ; on pos- 

 terior wings, two, increasing. Triangle of front wings crossed by a
