third. Veins testaceous. Costal vein ending at some distance in front 

 of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at beyond one-third of 

 the length ; mediastinal vein ending at hardly beyond half of the length ; 

 radial vein ending at a little before four-fifths of the length ; cubital 

 vein ending near the tip of the costal; prabrachial vein forming a 

 hardly obtuse angle at the flexure, much curved inward near this, almost 

 straight from thence to the tip ; discal transverse vein with two very 

 indistinct curves, parted by much less than its length from the border, 

 and by little more than half its length from the flexure of the prae- 

 brachial.

 the length of the face ; face slightly oblique ; epistoma not prominent. 

 Antennas reaching the epistoma ; second joint veiy much longer than

 much beyond one-third of the border ; mediastinal vein ending at much 

 beyond half of the border ; radial vein ending at five-sixths of the 

 border ; cubital vein ending very near the tip of the costal ; prasbrachial 

 vein forming an obtuse angle at the flexure, hardly curved inward from 

 thence to the tip ; discal transverse vein with two very indistinct curves, 

 parted by less than its length from the flexure of the prasbrachial, and 

 by much more than its length from the border. 



Rare. In Mr. Desvigne.^s collection. (E.)
