Chlorolestes the anal bridge originates distally well down 
the vein descending from the quadrangle in both wings, 
and joins the wing margin well before reaching Ac; Ac 
is opposite, slightly distad, or slightly proximad of, the 
level of the first antenodal; the wings are petiolated to, 
or nearly to, the level of the quadrangle ; and the inferior 
abdominal appendages have a heavily sclerotized spini- 
form area. In Phylolestes the anal bridge starts at, or 
very close to, the distal angle of the quadrangle and runs 
into Ac before reaching the wing margin ; Ac is opposite 
the midpoint between the first and second antenodals or 
closer to the second antenodal ; the wings are clearly not 
petiolated to the level of the arculus; and the inferior 
abdominal appendages lack any heavily sclerotized area. 
The distal origin of the anal bridge is similar to a con- 
dition found in the Australian genus Synlestes, while the 
condition of Ac resembles that of the Oriental Mega- 
lestes; but a separation of these three genera may easily 
be seen by an examination of the penes and a comparison 
of the venation.
