 and mesal notches; second pair of lobes one-third or less the 

 width of median lobes, shorter, small lateral and mesal notches, 

 hyaline; small third pair of lobes sometimes present; pectinae 

 subequal in length to lobes, arranged 2, 2, 5-6, those of incisurae

 plates; genacerores 0-1(4-7)4-6; densariae not prominent, subequal.

 subequal in length. 



e. Pygidium with median pair of lobes quadrangular, broader 

 than long, rounded, prominent lateral notches, mesal mar-
