 points at angles of cell ; a postmedial point above vein 6, an 

 obliquely-curved punctiform line between veins 5 and 2 and a point 

 above 1 ; an oblique series of short streaks on each side of the 

 veins from apex, and a subterminal series from vein 5 to inner

Ab. l.'athena. Antennae with the shaft black-scaled. This is
