  These 
  insects 
  are 
  placed 
  together 
  as 
  sexes 
  in 
  the 
  Hewitson 
  Collection, 
  and 
  we 
  have 
  figured 
  

   them 
  as 
  such 
  ; 
  but 
  they 
  come 
  from 
  different 
  localities, 
  and 
  may 
  possibly 
  be 
  distinct 
  species. 
  In 
  

   this 
  case, 
  the 
  male 
  (our 
  fig. 
  10) 
  will 
  l)e 
  the 
  type, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  sjsecimen 
  figured 
  by 
  Hewitson 
  ; 
  and 
  

   we 
  think 
  it 
  not 
  improbable 
  that 
  the 
  true 
  female 
  may 
  ultimately 
  prove 
  to 
  be

   Wings 
  rather 
  short,

  slightly 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  tips, 
  with 
  the 
  

   subcostal 
  nervure 
  foitr 
  -branched,

  first 
  two 
  branches 
  subparallel,

   emitted 
  just 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the

  the 
  third 
  and 
  fourth 
  separating 
  at 
  half 
  the 
  

   distance 
  between 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  the 
  apex,

  running

  Allied 
  to 
  Terioiiiliiia, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  subcostal 
  

   nervure 
  being 
  only 
  four-branched. 
  We 
  regret 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  only 
  a 
  single 
  

   indifferent 
  specimen 
  at 
  our 
  disposal, 
  and 
  are 
  consequently 
  unable 
  to 
  define

   generic
