beyond tip of abdomen ; very broad ; ciliated ; but a narrow 

 band across the centre of the wing naked ; submarginal vein 

 attaining the costa before middle of the wing ; marginal vein 

 nearly as long as the stigmal, which is long, a little oblique, 

 with a distinct knob ; postmarginal three times length of 

 stigmal ; basal and median veins present. Abdomen sessile ; 

 not narrowed at the base ; wider than the thorax but scarcely 

 longer. 



The body of the only specimen was lost before a close 

 examination had been made. However, the genus appears to 

 agree in the structure of the body with HadronotJis, from 

 which it differs in wing characters.

 as the pedicel and narrower, three times as long as wide ; 

 second one-half length of first ; third a little widened ; fourth
