 exterior margin oblique and slightly waved, posterior margin nearly straight ; cell 

 short ; first svibcostal branch emitted at some distance before end of the cell, second 

 branch at its end, third branch at one-half beyond the end, and fourth at three- 

 fifths ; upper discocellular extremely short, middle discocellular inwardly-oblique 

 and deeply concave, lower discocellular also inwardly-oblique and concave posteriorly ; 

 middle median veinlet emitted at some distance beyond lower end of the cell. On the 

 upperside is a narrow streak of modified ochrcons scales, extending along eacli side of 

 hath the radial veinlets, from their base to more than half their length, which gives 

 this portion of those veinlets the appearance of a feather, of which the vein itself 

 is the shaft and the scales the barb. Hindving short ; exterior margin convex, 

 slightly scalloped and somewhat angular at end of upper median veinlet ; pre- 

 costal vein short and bent outward ; radial emitted from lower subcostal at some 

 distance beyond its base ; cell open ; lower median starting from opposite base of 

 radial, upper median at considerable distance beyond. On the upperside the 

 two subcostal branches are furnished irith a similar positioned' narrow streah of 

 modified ochreous scales along each side, as is present on the forewing. Bodi/
