 gray ; a small dark brown spot at the tip of Sci and another 

 at the tip of B.>+ ^ ; veins dark brown, deepest along the 

 cord. Venation : Sr short, ending far before the origin 

 of Es. Sc-y at the tip of *SVi : the distance on B between 

 Sc2 and the origin of Bs is about equal to the l)asal deflec- 

 tion of Cui : Bs rather long, strongly angulated at origin ; 

 basal deflection of ^4+5 long, about equal to r-m : basal 

 deflection of C'u^ just before the fork of M. 



Abdominal tergites dark brown, broadly ringed caud- 

 ally with yellow to produce an annulated appearance ; 

 sternites dull yellow, the segments with a very narrow and 

 indistinct brown lateral stripe that is interrupted at the
