 in that species. The pronotum is about as broad as the head between 

 the eyes, the front margin nearly straight, sides rounded evenly into 

 the rounded hind border. The median vein of wing has a rather long 

 apical fork, the cubitus ten branched ; behind the radial sector toward 

 the tip are faint traces of cross-veins running nearly one half way to 

 median vein.
