slightly distacl of the level of petiolation and is closer to 
the second antenodal than to the first; second antenodal 
on a level with the arculus ; quadrangle strongly acute 
with the proximal side as long as, or longer than, anterior 
side; subquadrangie separated from the wing margin 
with this separation more marked in the fore wing ; anal 
bridge arises distally directly from the distal angle of 
the quadrangle in the hind wings, and originates slightly 
below the quadrangle in the fore wings ; vein Cu P swings 
up sharply on leaving the quadrangle; R4 plus 5 arises 
closer to the subnodus than to the arculus, and more than 
one cell before the subnodus ; nodus located J of the dis-

tance from the base to the distal end of the wing; XR3 
arises at subnodus ; IR2 is deflected strongly toward the 
stigma; at least one true 5 sector between IR2 and R3, 
rising proximad to the level of the stigma; no oblique 
crossvein between R3 and IR3. Superior male abdomi- 
nal appendages forcipate, inferiors rudimentary and 
plate-like. Penis typically Synlestine, lacking a terminal 
lobe and possessing a visible median spine. 
The genus Phylolestes is very close in the shape of the 
penes to the African genus Chlorolestes ; however, it may 
easily be separated from this genus by the venation and 
the shape of the inferior abdominal appendages. In 
5 For the purposes of this paper a ‘ 1 true ’ ’ sector is one which is straight 
for at least live cells length.
