Patagia scarcely twice as long as broad, gently tumiil, very broad and nearly sipiare at liase, tlie outer border stralglit, the inner ratlicr deeply concave, so that the posterior loljc narrows rapidly at first and tlien tapers gradually to a rounded point, the posterior portion lieing, as it were, triangular with the outer lunder angle greatly produced ; tlie interior liorder is roundly, rather broadly ridged. Fore wings (38; 15) a very little more than half as long again as broad, tlie costal margin considerably bent at a sliort distance from the liase, l)oyoud, nearly to the apex, almost straight, very sliglitly convex, the apical part curved somewhat backward; tlie outer border is a very little crenulate, its upper portion, as far as the ndddle of tlie lower subcostal interspace, sliglitly concave, having a general direction at right angles to the middle of tlie costal margiii; Iiclow this, to the middle of the succeeding inter- space, suddenly receding and then passing in a nearly straight course, broken by tlie crenulations, and by a little, l)road, ronudod projection, just lielow the lower median nervule, to the well rounded lower angle; inner margin very nearly straight. First superior branch of tlie sul)costal nervure emitted in tlie middle of the outer half of the upper margin of tlie cell; second, half way from tlie origin of tlie first to tlie tip of tlio eell—botli a little further fnmi tlie liase in the male tlian in the female; origin of tlio third midway between tiie tip of the cell and the liase of llie fourt
