second branches free and arising at equal distance apart before end of the cell and 
terminating on the costa before the apex ; third branch bifid, bent slightly at some 
distance beyond end of the cell, at its middle, and again immediately before its 
termination before the apex, the fourth and upper radial each starting respectively 
below from these angles, the fourth branch being very short, the lower radial also 
emitted from the subcostal at some distance beyond end of the cell (in the female 
the lower radial starts either from the upper end of the cell, or at some distance 
beyond as in the male). Cell broad ; discocellular oblique, slightly bent inward in 
its middle ; median vein three-branched, the branches at equal distances apart; 
submedian curved. Hindiving rather long, somewhat oval, slightly broader than the
