Costal vein ending on the fore border at some distance from the tip of 

 the wing ; subcostal vein ending at a little before one-third of the 

 length ; mediastinal vein ending at before half of the length ; radial 

 vein ending at before four-fifths of the length ; cubital vein joining the 

 costal near its tip ; prsebrachial vein forming a hardly obtuse angle at 

 its flexure, between which it is indistinctly curved inward ; discal trans- 

 verse vein with two slight curves, parted from the hind border by a 

 little more than its own length, and by half its length from the flexure 

 of the pra3brachial.

Frontalia deep black, widening in front 5 bristles of the front de- 

 scending to full half the length of the face ; face vertical ; facialia
