throughout than in this species. The two species also agree in the 

 shape, discal ciliation and general appearance of the fore wings, the 

 discal ciliation in both species being moderately fine and short, not 

 coarser as in the other species ; there are about from ten to twelve 

 longitudinal lines in this species (a few more in iole) . The naked, 

 rectangular space on the fore wing out from the apex of the marginal 

 vein and along the cephalic margin is about the same in both species 

 and is longer than the marginal vein. The marginal cilia of the fore 

 wings are long, but the longest are distinctly shorter than the greatest 

 width of the fore wing but not a great deal shorter. The posterior 

 wings are curved and without discal ciliation other than the paired lines 

 along each edge. They are distinctly shorter than the fore wings ; 

 their longest marginal cilia slightly over twice the width of the blade 

 of the posterior wings. Hooklets three, very minute. Tibial spurs 

 minute, single. Proximal tarsal joints short, subequal to any of the 

 others but somewhat longer and stouter on the cephalic legs. Thorax 

 long, ovipositor concealed, the valves forming an acute point to apex 

 of abdomen. Legs and antennas dusky to pale. Black. Fore wings 

 fumated slightly out as far as the end of the venation.
