beginning a very short distance before the mai’ginal cross-vein 
(almost impei’ceptibly in one specimen ) ; third longitudinal vein 
appearing to commence in the fifth basal cell a short distance 
before the supernumerary cross-vein, and almost opposite the tip 
of the sixth longitudinal vein ; middle cross-vein in advance of 
the supernumerary cross-vein a distance equal to half its length ; 
posterior cross-vein opposite the tip of the sixth longitudinal 
vein, and situated before the middle cross-vein a distance equal to 
its length ; all three cross-veins of about equal length ; first sub- 
marginal cell considerably longer and somewhat narrower than 
the second posterior cell, its base situated a little before that of
