the second somewhat shorter and more catilliform ; flagellar 
joiiits as in Ceroj)lalus. Thorax short, broadly oval, very gibbose,

a distinct range of small spines on the inner side. Wings

base very broad and rounded off ; incumbent in repose. Co.stal 
vein extending beyond the tip of the second longitudinal vein, 
but not quite as far as the apex of the wing ; auxiliary vein 
complete, terminating in the costa beyond the origin of the third 
longitudinal vein ; sub-costal cross-vein missing ; second longi- 
tudinal vein forming a long stalked fork with a short anterior 
branch, the latter running into the costa ; petiole of the third 
sub-marginal cell short ; fifth longitudinal vein complete.
