 ampliated at apical area, where they are as broad as wings, the 

 costal margin a little rounded, the apex almost subacute, apical 

 margin sinuately truncate, posterior angle acutely produced, costal 

 membrane about as wide as greatest breadth of radial area, the 

 former somewhat closely transversely veined, the latter obliquely 

 reticulate, two longitudinal veins emitted from lower end of cell
