Second marginal areolet about three-fourths of the length of 

 the first: first cross-vein slightly curved, very slanting, forming a

 second slightly curved, very slanting, forming a very obtuse angle,

 ing a hardly acute angle; fourth very slightly waved, slanting, 

 forming a hardly acute angle, a little longer than the third ; fifth 

 curved, slightly slanting, forming a slightly acute angle. In the 

 insect described the fore vein of the second marginal areolet is
