 as at base, strongly arched to apex, which is broadly rounded, 

 apical margin obliquely truncate, its posterior angles angu- 

 late, but not or only very slightly posteriorly produced, the 

 posterior margin angularly sinuate at apex of clavus, two 

 strongly branched longitudinal veins arising from basal cell, 

 costal membrane a little narrower than radial area, the first 

 transversely, the latter reticulately veined, clavus coarsely
