Wing venation of Pleasing Lacewing - Nallachius americanus - male

Wing venation of Pleasing Lacewing - Nallachius americanus - Male
Original caption:
Nallachius americanus (McL.). Drawing of fore and hind wings of a male, collected at Detroit, Michigan, June 28, 1944 (Geo. Steyskal), and now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
Note from text:
"I include here drawings of the wings of the male in order to call attention to the anastomosis of the posterior branch of MP with CuA in the fore wing. The amount of anastomosis appears to be constant in the species."
