Body small and slender. 



^^""^""A^Lue moderately long and slender. Club slender, about one fourth of the entire length of the antennae, 

 gradually formed, slightly curved, with a slight keel running along the mside. 



LahiarPalpi rather elongate, directed upwards, and extending considerably above the level of the top of the 

 head. Middle joint long and slender, compressed, and thickly hairy in front ; terminal joint elongate, oval, 

 and also hairy. 



"^X'e mn«' 'subtrigonate. Fore margin slightly rounded. Outer margin four sevenths of the length of the fore margin 

 an-ulated below the tip. Costal vein extending two thirds the length of the costa. hubcostal with the first 

 branch arising beyond the middle of the wing ; second branch arising at a small distance beyond it ; third 

 branch arising nearly opposite to the junction of the costal vein with the costa; fourth branch extending to 

 the tip of the wings. Upper disco-cellular vein obliterated. The first discoidal vein arising at a very little 

 distance beyond the insertion of the second branch of the subcostal. ISliddle and lower disco-cellular of nearly 

 equal length (closing the long discoidal cell), the former with its anterior two thirds straight and transverse, 

 then suddenly angulated outwardly, throwing oft' a branch into the discoidal cell from the angle; outer

 origin of the third branch as between the latter and the second submedian branch. _ , • , i
