about one-half to radial sector ; the costal cells very much 
longer than high.

ous, cells rather high, but few twice as high as broad;

seven gradates in each row in fore wing, rows parallel, 
the inner row almost as near radial sector as to outer

cubital cell scarcely as long as third; cubital area about 
two-thirds of marginal area.
