 stalked ; 6-J-7 short stalked 

 or strongly connate; 7 out 

 of 8 beyond middle; 10

 cell ; 11 coincident with 12 

 for its outer two thirds. 



Hind wing 1^ as wide 

 as fore wing; lower me- 

 dian vein hairy above; 

 costa nearly straight, apex 

 rounded, termen straight 

 in middle of wing, round-

 -labc present, 1 ^ not furcate 

 at base; 2 from outer third of cell; 3 from before lower angle; 4-|-5
