gradates to margin and between branches of Cul to margin; longi- 

 tudinal veins yellow with heavy dark brown setal spotting almost 

 from base to margin except along C, Sc, and bases of R, M, and Cu; 

 cross-veins heavily bordered in general except for those in basal clear 

 area; pterostigma yellow between antepterostigmal and postptero- 

 stigmal spots; Rs forking into R2-1-3 and R44-5 basad of pterostigma 

 at about point of 2d r in left wing and slightly distad in right wing; 

 MPl + 2 with two even forks; Cul with four branches to margin; 

 approximately 10 costal cross-veins before pterostigma in right wing 

 and 11 in left; three radial cross-veins, 1st r at point of forking of R 

 from Rs; 1st r-m to free stem of Rs; 2d r-m below R4 + 5; 2d m 

 almost directly under 1st r-m; 3d m basad of level of point of coales- 

 cence of Sc and Rl and forking of MPl -F2 ; sectoral cross-vein slightly 

 distad of 3d r, the outer gradates being slightly irregular at this point; 

 the inner gradates also in irregular series, six outer and three inner 

 gradates. 



HiNDWiNG (pi. 2, fig. 7): Length 3.8 mm., width 1.5 mm.; mem- 

 brane almost hyaline; two small dark brown spots, the first, the 

 faint antepterostigmal at end of subcostal space between Sc and Rl, 

 and the second, the postpterostigmal, at end of pterostigma, rest of 

 pterostigma yellow, covering about eight cross-veins; approximately 

 seven costal cross-veins before pterostigma; longitudinal veins yellow 

 except for small section along Rl above 1st r, Rs from point of 

 separation from MA to forking of R2-}-3 and R4-f-5, R2 + 3 basally 

 before 2d r and distally under 2d r, and MPl + 2 above and MP3+4 

 below 1st m which are brown; outer portions of R2-|-3, R4^-5, 

 radial veins and MA dotted with blackish brown setal pits from outer 

 gradates to margin; 4th to 6th costal cross-veins and 1st and 2d r 

 and outer gradates dark brown; Rs forking into R2+3 and R4-f 5 

 basad of level of point of coalescence of Sc and Rl; Cul with three 

 branches to margin; three radial cross-veins; six outer gradates in 

 slightly irregular series, with s slightly distad of 2d r; inner gradates 

 almost in regular series. 



Female genitalia (fig. 24, b): Eighth tergitemuch shorter dorsally, 

 lengthening ventrally; ninth tergite with each lateroventral half 

 large, elongate, with one posterior articulation ridge, anterior border 

 convex and considerably wider than posterior, dorsal border sloping 

 markedly and curving to about midway of length, then leveling off 

 to just before articulation point with ninth sternite; tenth tergite 

 short mediodorsally.
