orif^iii ; /?o ^3 very sliort, less than one-half the basal deflec- 

 tion ot" /^4+5; r ou R-2 about its own lenj^th beyond the fork ; 

 basal deflection of Cu^ beyond the fork of M ; cell 1st M2 

 relatively small ; basal deflection of C«i subtransvcrse. 



Abdomen dark brown, including the hypopygiura. Male 

 hyi)opyo;ium with the pleurites greatly elongated as in 

 campbelli, the distal appendages lying at about the Ijasal 

 third. Gouapophyses with the l)end deeper than in campbelli, 

 the distal point being less extensively chitinized.

 black, the flagclluni broken. Head black, sparsely pruinose.
