of the preceding species and less paddle-shaped, at their widest point 

 bearing about fourteen longitudinal lines of discal ciliation which has 

 a soft appearance, is moderately fine and not dense nor sparse either ; 

 proximad, about half-way from the wing apex to the apex of the vena- 

 tion it abruptly disappears, the surface of the wing then naked with 

 the exception of a single, minute, isolated seta located nearly centrally 

 in the wing opposite the base of the marginal vein. Marginal cilia of 

 the fore wing very fine and long, the longest about one and a quarter 

 times longer than the greatest wing width and slightly longer than the 

 longest marginal cilia of the posterior wings ; the latter witn the normal 

 discal ciliation, namely only the paired lines along each edge ; moder- 

 ate in width, its longest marginal cilia four or more times longer than 

 the mean width of the blade. Posterior wings reaching nearly to the 

 apex of the fore wings. 



Thorax long and slender, nearly twice the length of the small, ovate 

 abdomen; the latter sessile, the genitalia exserted, long and curved, 

 subequal to the abdomen in length. Legs with the proximal tarsal 

 joints moderately long, longer than the other three tarsal joints taken 

 separately, the joints shortening distad ; tibial spurs single, usual, the 

 strigil present on the cephalic tibiae. 



Antennae 13-jointed, filiform, all of the flagellar joints distinctly longi- 

 tudinally striate, all of the funicle joints spiny or acute at their disto- 

 lateral angles ; scape not long ; pedicel short and stout ; first funicle 

 joint distinctly longer than the pedicel ; second and following joints to 

 tenth, subequal, each very slightly longer than the proximal funicle 

 joint, about three and one-half times longer than wide, slender, 

 cylindrical ; the club joint a fifth shorter, obtusely conical. Pubes- 

 cence not noticeable.
