The trunk of the cubitus reaches not quite a third the length of the wing; its branches diverge in opposite directions, so that they form an angle of 180° with the trunk. The posterior branch slopes obliquely backward toward the base of the wing, is somewhat shorter than the free portion of the anterior branch, and strikes the nearly straight anal vein about in the mid' Fig. 32.—Microphorus defunctus, Handlirsch. The abdomen is much narrower than the robust, highly arched thorax, and at most is half as long again as the latter. The head is short and broad, but is not easily made out. Two legs are preserved (? hind legs). Their femora are normal, have a little more than two- thirds the length of the labdomen, and are only slightly longer than the somewhat terminally expanded tibiie. The tarsi also appear to have been somewhat expan' Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Geological Survey of Canada.
