along the second lateral suture. The remainder of the

16-16; R3 arises five and one-lialf crossveins distad of 
subnodus in fore wing and four to four and one-half in 
the hind wings. Stigma somewhat trapezoidal and three 
times as long as broad ; proximal vein strongly angulate. 
The stigma covers two cells with brace vein slightly dis- 
tad of the proximal end of the stigma. 
Legs . — Coxae yellow, femora and tibiae light brown 
darkening towards the joints. Tarsi and claws black. 
Claws with a definite basal tooth. Spines short and stout

tarsi.

lobes are interiorly pruinose.

7 Eight fore wing of holotype is missing.
