CALTPTIS. — PLECOPTERODES. 141 



nervLire, defined above by a curved white streak and below by a 

 white streak on vein 1 extending to near termen ; two faint oblique 

 antemedial grey strise from costa ; orbicular very indistinct and 

 oblique, defined on inner side by grey and on outer by the curved 

 white streak ; reniform very narrow and oblique, defined by white 

 and with whitish line in centre, a»narrow oblique white medial band 

 from it to vein 1 ; a large deep cupreous apical patch defined below 

 by an oblique white streak to near termen below vein 6, met at 

 vein 6 by a slight white streak from the reniform ; another very 

 large oblong deep cupreous patch beyond the reniform and medial 

 band extending to near termen below vein 5 on which there is a 

 white streak defining its upper edge, its lower edge defined by the 

 white streak on vein 1 ; the postmedial line below vein 6 very 

 indistinct, dark, waved, exeurved below vein 3 and just above vein 1 

 retracted to lower angle of cell and the medial band ; subterminal 

 line white, slightly exeurved above vein 6 on the apical patch, 

 below vein 5 faint and forming the outer edge of the cupreous 

 patch ; a white line at base of cilia and line near tips. Hind wing 

 brown with a cupreous gloss ; cilia with whitish line at base and 

 whitish tips ; the underside irrorated with greyish, a curved post- 

 medial line and slight white lunules before termen above and below
