obtuse; exterior margin slightly oblique, nearly straight and also even, posterior 
angle rounded ; posterior margin almost straight; costal vein strong, extending to 
half the margin; cell extending to two-fifths at its upper end from the base; first 
subcostal branch emitted at one-fourth before end of cell and curved upward towards 
end of the costal vein, but entirely free from it; second subcostal branch at half¬ 
way between it and end of cell; third subcostal at one-sixth beyond the cell and 
extending to the apex; fourth and fifth branch at two-sixths beyond the cell, the 
fourth branch deflexed before reaching the end below the apex ; upper discocellular 
extremely short, almost obsolete ; middle discocellular oblique, rather short and 
slightly convex ; the lower discocellular long, its upper end deeply concave, the lower 
end extending obliquely outward ; middle median veinlet at one-sixth before lower 
end of cell, lower median at one-half before the end ; submedian vein nearly straight. 
Hindwing somewhat triangularly oval ; anterior margin long, gently curved from near 
the base, apex oblique ; exterior margin convexly-oblique from end of upper subcostal, 
slightly waved, produced between the upper and middle median into a short broad out¬
