 arched at the base, apex obtuse; exterior margin almost erect, very slightly convex 

 and slightly scalloped ; posterior margin long, recurved; first subcostal branch short,

 vein terminating at some distance before the apex; subcostal branch and radial at 

 equal distances from the costal vein, radial concave at the base; cell open; lower
