about two and a half times longer than broad, their greatest 

 breadth falling in the third quarter. Sector running obliquely 

 to the middle of the apical margin, sending forth but 2 

 branches directed forward, their interstices being filled by an 

 irregular network. Costal area with 2 rows of cells. Radio- 

 medial space with 2 rows of large polygonal cells. Media with 

 a simple fork. Cubitus split into about 8 branches, all angularly 

 broken, some of them falling in the anal furrow. By the aid 

 of the cross veins the whole cubital space takes on the aspect 

 of a network. One sees only 4 anal veins, but 2 others may 

 have existed.
