 forking to apex ; upper radial emitted from the inferior margin of the subcostal near its origin ; lower 

 radial nearly equally dividing the dis co- cellular s, which are concave; second and third median branches 

 emitted near together ; preeostal of secondaries short, oblique, directed backwards ; costal nervure short, 

 straight, oblique, terminating at basal third of costa ; subcostal forking beyond the end of cell, the upper
