" Tliorax rather slight. Anterior wings elongate, elliptical ; first subcostal nervule originating at 

 nearly three fourths the length of the cell, the second about halfway between the origin of 

 the first and the end of the cell, the third considerably beyond the cell, and the fourth some- 

 what nearer to the origin of the third ; upper discocellular nervule very short, middle disco- 

 cellular longer than the upper and lower together, basi-median nervule wanting. Posterior 

 wings elongate, tlie basal half very narrow, inner margin concave beyond the extremity of
