 end of cell than to base of wing. Hind wing rather elongated ; 

 outer margin even, slightly excised between veins 2 and 1 b\ vein 7 

 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars faint ; vein 5 not trace- 

 able ; veins 2, 3, and 4 very close together ; vein 3 about twice as 

 far from 2 as from 4 ; lower margin of cell angled at vein 2. Hind 

 tibia3 with two pairs of spurs. No secondary sexual characters on the
