Mediastinal vein ending at beyond three-fourths of the length of the 

 wing ; subcostal ending at beyond seven-eighths of the length, connected 

 by a veinlet very near its tip with the radial ; radial and cubital spring- 

 ing from a common petiole, which they exceed in length, and which 

 proceeds from the subcostal at somewhat beyond half the length of the 

 wing; cubital connected with the third externo-medial by a veinlet, 

 which is opposite the base of the radial, and whose middle emits the 

 first externo-medial; the latter is forked at a little beyond half its 

 length ; second and third externo-medial springing close to the above 

 veinlet from a common petiole ; third externo-medial connected by a
