cells between Cujza and Cup. Between Cura and the 
posterior Banksian line one row of cells in the basal half part; 
two irregular rows in the apical half part. In the hind- 
wing two rows of cells between M 2a and the hind mar- 
gin in basal half part, one row in the apical half part. 
Tarsi long; basal joint as long as fifth. Spurs only a little 
longer than basal tarsal joint. The abdomen of the male 
longer than the wings and with short appendages.
