Front wings : 26 to 28 antenodals, 24 to 25 postnodals, 10 cross- 

 veins in the median space, 3 cross-veins in the quadrilateral, pterostig- 

 ma surmounting five cells and parts of one or two others, its proximal 

 edge twice as long as its distal edge. 



Hind wings: 25 to 22 antenodals, 24 to 26 postnodals, 8 to 9 cross- 

 veins in the median space, 4 cross-veins in the quadrilateral, pterostig- 

 ma surmounting four cells and parts of two others, its proximal edge 

 1.6 as long as its distal edge.* 



All wings faintly smoky, costal and subcostal areas faintly yellowish 

 from the base distad to beyond the nodus. Hind wings with an apical 

 brown spot extending from about two cells proximal to the proximal 

 end of the stigma to the wing-apex and from the costal margin to M;, 

 some cells between M2 and Rs, also being faintly brown, many of the 

 cells within the area of the spot paler in their centers. Pterostigmata 

 dark reddish brown. 



Total length 42, abdomen 34. superior appendage 1.16, hind wing 24.5,

 and hind wings.
