Imago. — Wings semidiaplianous, large. Foreiving long, narro-w, somewhat 

 fusiform; anterior margin much arched, apex rounded; extei'ior margin very oblique 

 and slightly concave in the middle ; posterior angle much rounded ; costal vein 

 extending to half length of the margin ; first subcostal branch emitted at one-fifth 

 before end of the cell and joined to the costal near its end by a short inwardly- 

 directed cross branch ; second subcostal branch from near end of the cell, third and 

 fourth at equal distances beyond the cell, fifth branch terminating below the apex ; 

 cell long, extending to more than half length of the wing ; upper discocellular vein 

 inwardly oblique, deeply concave, lower outwardly convex ; upper radial starting 

 from the discocellular near the subcostal, lower radial from a slight angle at equal dis- 

 tance between it and the upper median veinlet ; median vein with three widely separated 

 branches; submedian vein recurved, and emitting a short, slender, straight lower 

 veinlet from near its base. Hindiving fusiform, somewhat narrow ; anterior margin 

 much arched, apex produced and rounded ; exterior margin very oblique; cell more 

 than half its length, rather narrow; costal vein very convex, short; precostal 

 forked ; subcostal veinlets wide apart, first branch much upwardly curved, second 

 branch nearly straight and extending to the prolonged apex ; discocellular vein bent 

 downward beyond its middle, the radial being emitted from the angle ; median vein- 

 lets wide apart, straight, the two lower from opposite distances to the subcostals ; 

 submedian vein slightly, and inner vein much recurved. Cilia extremely short. Body 

 long, abdomen slender. Palpi ascending to near the vertex, apex projecting in
