The wing-veins of the Hepialidce are very different from those 
of the other Bomby cites in structure. The discal areolet is as it 
were doubled ; the second inferior vein is about ten times further 
from the third than from the first ; the third is joined to the discal 
areolet by an oblique veinlet, and to the submedian vein by two 
veinlets, whose junction forms an acute angle, which emits a vein 
to the border.
