 thirds the length of costa, shaped like an elongated triangle, the upper discocellular 

 very short but distinct, in almost a straight line with the middle and lower, the last 

 somewhat shorter than the middle discocellular, lower margin of cell somewhat 

 inwardly curved from the base to vein 2, bent upward from vein 3 to the end, vein 3

 margin. Ilindwlng, vein 7 emitted one-third from the upper end of the cell, curved
