Characters. — This fossil genus is distinguished from nearly related forms by the following 
characters : Cubitus forked; petiole of the media longer than the R-M crossvein; the subcosta ends in 
Ri or ends free; Scz when present is proximad of the small cell; R4-1-5 straight or gently arched; the 
small cell (R,) very short, V- or Y-shaped (PI. 4, Fig. I 3, I 3a).

16. Genus DZIEDZICKIA^), nom. nov. 
Hertwigia. Dziedzicki (nec Schmidt), Pamietnik Fizyjograf, Vol. 5, p. 3 (i885). 
Characters. — Eyes oval, somewhat notched out around the base of the antennae, widely 
separated ; ocelli three in number, the middle one small, arranged in a transverse line on top of the head 
and widely separated from the eyes; palpi four jointed, cylindrical, the first two joints short, third joint 
about half again as long as the second, the fourth slender, sickle shaped, twice as long as the third; 
antennae 2 + 14 jointed, the first one cyathiform, the second cylindrical, the following joints cylindrical, 
slightly constricted in the middle The hypop3'gium stands out, ovate in form, rather large, and not 
retractile into the abdomen. The tibial setae are present. The costa extends beyond the tip of R44-5, just 
reaching the tip of the wing ; subcosta ends in Rj upon the small cell Rj ; this cell is usually over twice 
as long as wide; the media is forked under the distal extremity of this cell, its anterior branch is five 
times as long as its petiole; the cubitus forks far proximad of the R-M crossvein, its branches widely 
separated; the second anal vein is stout and ends far beyond the base of the fork of the cubitus; the 
third anal vein is rather long but slender (PI. 4, Fig. 7).
