segment. The eighth segment is nearly all black, with a small light spot each 

 side, which is also pruinose. Fore wings with the same testaceous and black 

 colors at base, as in valvata, and the anal membranes of both pairs of wings

 abdomen is considerably broadened out at the extremity ; much more so than

 near its central portion.
