well beyond mid-wing. Rs arising in the proximal quarter 
of the wing, and having its first branch arising just be- 
yond mid-wing. CuA apparently free from M; anal veins 
unknown. Sc and Rs are distinctly concave in the obverse 
half of the fossil, and R is equally convex. M and its 
branches appear slightly concave, as is the case in most 
Protorthoptera. 
The hind wing is very incompletely known ; it apparently 
has a more rounded apex than the fore wing, and the 
radial sector arises nearer the middle of the wing, but 
the branching of Rs and M is apparently like that of the 
fore wing.

Holotype: Chicago Museum of Natural History; collected 
at Naperville, DuPage Co., Illinois, by Dr. L. M. Umbach. 
The fossil consists of two wings, with parts of the other 
two, superimposed and resting over the abdomen, no part 
of which can be distinctly seen. 
Scudder placed this specimen in the Palaeodictyoptera,
