Description
Tegmen (Figs 1, 2) moderately narrow, with parallel Sc, RA, RS, branches of MA and MP+CuA1, and short distal part of CuA2; all areas between longitudinal veins more or less narrow; majority of them with intercalary veins; Sc slightly concave, without branches and with apex situated near middle part of costal edge; R+RA slightly convex, but all longitudinal veins between this vein and CuP neutral; R and MA with proximal bifurcation situated in proximal part of tegmen; RA and RS probably simple (single); MA with only two branches in proximal and middle parts of tegmen; proximal part of MP before anastomosis with CuA1 indistinct; MP+CuA1 with four branches as minimum; CuA2 with two branches forming cell-like structure looking as a result of fusion of their distal parts; CuP concave (area near this vein with distinctly concave fold shown in Fig. 1a by dotted line), oblique and straight, but with small distal part probably looking as a result of its fusion with CuA2; 1A hardly convex, similar to CuP in shape; 2A neutral, looking as a single, oblique, and straight vein (its branches somewhat similar to crossveins); true crossveins simple and sparse.
