479 



striolate ; metatboracic petiolar area short ; areola subpentagonal 

 and occasionally obsolete. Abdomen subi-vlindrical ; basal 

 segment laterally acute, with the petiolar glyminal sulci distinct ; 

 second segment longer than broad, with obsolete thyridii : terebra 

 not extending beyond anus. Legs somewhat stout, with their 

 calcaria not extending beyond centre of metatarsus ; tarsal claws 

 basally pectinate. \Mngs with the areolet shortly petiolate and 

 not small, emitting the recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; radial 

 cell not broad ; second discoidal externally subacute ; basal nervure 

 continuous; nervellus vertical and not intercepted. 



Fiirster's typeless genus may be synonymous with that so well 

 set forth by Thomson ; but in any case his few words are quite 

 inadequate to justify the recognition of his name.
