 oblique, convex and angulated hindward; posterior margin almost straight; costal 

 and subcostal vein with its first and second branches running very close together 

 along the extreme margin ; subcostal six-branched, first branch emitted immediately 

 before end of the cell, third trifid, emitted from below second at one-fifth beyond the 

 cell, sixth starting also from below second at a short distance beyond end of the cell ; 

 discocellular inwardly oblique, bent in the middle, emitting a discoidal veinlet within 

 the cell from the angle, radial from middle of the discocellular ; three median 

 branches, lower at one-half and middle at one-fourth before end of the cell ; a slender 

 submedian and an internal vein extending close along the margin : hindwing short, 

 broad, exterior margin very convex, abdominal margin long, anal angle somewhat 

 lobate in male ; costal and subcostal joined together to a short distance from the 

 base ; two subcostal branches from immediately beyond end of the cell ; discocellular 

 long, very oblique, recurved, emitting a discoidal veinlet within the cell from middle 

 of upper end, radial from middle of lower end ; two upper medians from end of the 

 cell, lower at nearly one-half before the end ; submedian and internal vein straight.
