 margin slightly olilique and convex, posterior margin convex near the base ; subcostal vein five-branched,* 

 first branch emitted at nearly one half, second at one fourth, and third from near the end of the cell, third 

 bifid near its end ; cell extending to half length of the wing ; discocellular slender ; radial from its middle ; 

 lower median at more than one-third and middle median from near end of tlie cell ; submedian strai"bt : 

 hiudwing short, broad, costa arched in the middle, exterior margin with a single slender tail from end of 

 lower median ; cell broad, triangular, extending half the wing ; first subcostal at one-half before end of the
