266 Maine; agricuIvTurai, experiment station. 1909. 



broad, usually longer than abdomen ; subcosta ends in the costa ; 

 subcostal crossvein present, basal in position; costa produced 

 beyond the tip of R4+=.; R2+3 oblique, and often sinuous, ending 

 in the costa; the basal section of the media usually present, 

 though delicate and fold-like, dividing the basal cell, coalescing 

 with the radial sector before the crossvein, differing in this 

 respect from Apemon and Hesperodes where the coalescence 

 takes place distad of the crossvein; anal vein more or less sinu- 

 ous, and reaching the wing margin; hypopygium (figs. 93, 94) 

 consists of simple forceps resembling those of Apemon. 



Table of species.
