yellowish ; stigma indistinct. Venation : Sc ending before 

 the origin of Us, Sc2 nari'owly seamed with brown, removed 

 a short distance from the tip of Sc^, the distance between 

 tlie tip of Sci and the origin of lis about equal to one-half 

 the latter ; JRs stongly angulated at origin, shorter than 

 I^i+i) cell i?2 moderately large for a member of this group, 

 vein i?2 slightly oblique ; cell 1*^ Mc, usually closed, rarely 

 open by the atrophy of the outer deflection of M^ ; basal

 two veins about to ;*-m or a little shorter. In the paratype, 

 Us is square at its origin and strongly spurred and Sci ends 

 almost opposite this origin ; in all other characters the two 

 specimens agree sufficiently well and until male specimens 

 are found the insects cannot be further separated.
