long as the second ; second joint subcylindric, rather stoutest in the middle, truncate at the 
apex ; third joint scarcely the length of, and slenderer than, the second, tapering to a 
point at the apex. 
" Antennce about two thirds the length of the body, rather slender, terminating in a short 
pyriform club. 
" Thoeax elongate, oval, hairy. 
'■^Anterior wings subtriangular ; the anterior margin but slightly curved; outer two thirds the 
length of the anterior margin, emarginate ; inner longer than the outer margin, slightly 
sinuate, emarginate. Costal nervure stout, extending beyond the middle of the wing. 
Subcostal nervure slender ; its first branch thrown ofi' before the end of the cell ; its 
second about at equal distance beyond it ; its third about equidistant from the second and 
fourth. Upper discocellular scarcely existing. Lower discocellular wanting, yet its 
position faintly indicated. Third median nervule gradually curved. 
" Posterior wings subtriangular, all the margins about equal in length ; the anterior and outer 
margins curved ; the latter sinuate, slightly dentate ; inner margin slightly emarginate 
above the anal angle, Precostal nervure simple, nearly straight. Discoidal nervure 
separating from the subcostal nervule soon after its origin. Cell open. Third median 
nervule but little curved, 
'■'Anterior legs of the male clothed with long slender hairs. Femur and tibia slender, the latter 
slightly longer than the former. Tarsus shorter than the femur, one-jointed, nearly 
cylindric, tapering to a point at the apex. 
" Anterior legs of the female more elongate, scaly. Tibia about three fourths the length of the 
femur. Tarsus nearly cylindric, fully as long as the tibia, five-jointed ; all the joints, 
except the fiftli, armed at the apex with a stout spine on each side. First joint rather 
stoutest, one third longer than the rest combined ; second about two fifths the length of 
the first ; third one half the length of the second ; fourth and fifth combined rather more 
than equal to the third ; the fourth very obliquely truncate at the apex. 
'■'■Middle and posterior legs with the femora slightly longer than the tibia? ; the latter and the 
tarsus of about equal length. Femora stout. Tibia nearly cylindric, spiny on each side 
■within ; the spurs long. Tarsi spiny laterally and, except the fifth joint, below ; the spines 
of the lower surface tending towards an arrangement in a double series. First joint three 
fourths tlie length of the rest combined ; second and third nearly equal ; fourth very short ; 
fifth longer than the second. Claws much curved, grooved below. Paronychia long ; the 
outer lacinia very slender, pointed, as long as the claw ; inner obtuse, much shorter than 
the outer. Pulvillus jointed, nearly as long as the claw. 
*' AitDOMEN moderately stout, about tlireo fourths the length of the inner margin of the wing, 
" Larva spiny ; the head with two spines longer than those of the body-; the prothoracic segment 
unarmed.
