the wing and the apical branch furcate. The cliscal vein has 

 two branches, and the median is 3-branched, all the branches 

 being aggregated at its posterior end. The submedian fur- 

 cate at the base. 



Head smooth. Ocelli none. Antennae of the males with 

 the joints rather dentate and pubescent-ciliated. Labial 

 palpi smooth, cylindric, moderately long, exceeding the 

 vertex somewhat, reflexedwith the third joint pointed; middle 

 joint longer than the terminal joint. No maxillary palpi. 

 Tongue of moderate length, clothed with scales towards the
