posterior branch not quite reaching the wing-margin ; petiole of 
the fork twice the length of the marginal cross- vein 3 middle 
cross-vein joining the third longitudinal at or somewhat beyond 
the base of the fork ; fourth longitudinal vein very stout ; 
anterior branch of the fourth longitudinal detached at its base 
and not quite reaching the wing-margin 3 fifth longitudinal
