The labial palpi four-jointed, the two basal joints elongate, the 

 two apical ones minute, situated near the apex of the second 

 joint at the side ; the maxillary palpi six- jointed, the three basal 

 joints of about equal length, subclavate, the three apical ones 

 minute ; the superior wings having one marginal and three sub- 

 marginal cells. Claws of the tarsi bifid. The labial palpi are 

 four-jointed.

 labial palpi ; the maxillary palpi are also incorrectly figured in 

 the 'Exploration Scientifique de I'Algerie.'
