the stigma ; transverse median nervnre received shortly beyond 

 the transverse basal. Occiput transverse in the middle, the sides 

 broadly rounded. 



Characteristic of this species is the broadly rounded basal 

 abscissa — not straight and oblique as usual — of the radius and the 

 fact of the transverse median nervure being received shortly 

 beyond the transverse basal. The recurrent nervure is inter- 

 stitial. The densely haired hind tibiae are also noteworthy.
