Petiole of abdomen long- and slender, slightly longer than the 

 body of the abdomen or the thorax; abdomen (lateral aspect) ovate, 

 acute ventrad, from dorsal aspect elliptical oval; compressed, the 

 genitalia concealed, the second segment enclosing all of the rest. 



Legs disproportionately small, slender throiighout, femur, tibia 

 and tarsus subequal in length, cylindrical; tarsi 5-jointed; tibial 

 spurs of the posterior legs double, minute, weak. Proximal tarsal 

 Joint longest, on the posterior legs equal to auy two of the others 

 taken together. Mandibles very slender, falcate, weak, with at least 

 one tooth within near base, this tooth triangulär and conspicuous. 



Only the caudal margin of the posterior wings bears marginal 

 cilia, which are short and weak. Discal ciliation of fore wing also 

 w^eak, the cilia irregularly arranged, Single, the ciliation not sparse 

 but scattered, confined to the infuscated area. Marginal and sub- 

 marginal veins very slender, the former somewhat w^der and only 

 about three-fourths the length of the latter, the postmarginal vein 

 Short, the stigmal vein sessile, formiug a distinct triangulär stig- 

 mated area against the cephalic wing margin. Venation of the 

 posterior wing comparatively short and broad. 



Antennae 12-jointed, inserted slightly above the middle of the 

 face, about on an imaginary line drawn through the middle of the 

 eyes, the bulbs slightly separated from each other, central, distant 

 from the eye margins by at least the diameter of the eye. Antennae 

 moderately long, slender, filiform, three-fourths the length of body, 

 weak, not elbowed; scape short, not reaching up to the apex of the 

 Vertex or barely to the cephalic ocellus, cylindrical ovate, twice 

 longer than wide, not more than a fourth the length of the first 

 funicle Joint but about thrice the length of the pedicel; the latter 

 weak, small, subcupuliform ; no ring-joints; funicle 9-jointed, filiform, 

 the first Joint long and slender, about one and a half times longer 

 than the second; joints 2 to 7 of funicle subequal, slightly shortening 

 distad, 8 and 9 subequal, about a fifth short er, the Single club Joint 

 longer, conic-ovate, a fifth longer than the preceding Joint, terminating 

 in a pair of short teeth-like spines. Scape and pedicel naked, 

 smooth; flagellum clothed uniformly with moderately dense, short 

 grey hairs, not whorled or regularly arranged but similar to normal 

 wing ciliation; all flagellar joints distinctly longer than wide.
