 and produced into a narrow tail; costa slightly convex at the base, apex acute, 

 exterior margin convex in middle, abdominal margin very long, concave from anal 

 angle to tip of the tail ; costal vein much arched from the base and extending to 

 apical angle, emitting a short forked basal spur ; first subcostal branch emitted
