The Bugaba male differs from the description! in lacking the pale line on the second lateral thoracic suture 
and black stripes on abdominal segments 1-7; arculus distal to the second antecubital on all the wings 
(as it is in all the material listed below, except on the right front wing of two Sapucay males); front 
wings with 18-19 ante-, 17-18 postcubitals; colour at extreme base of the wings paler and less 
extended. 
The females from Sapucay and Bugaba are apparently indistinguishable from those of Orthemis levis.

Synopsis of the Species. 
Hind wing with only one postcostal cell between the origin of the distal 
subbasal sector (A, of Comstock and Needham) and the hind angle 
of the triangle, distal subbasal sector arising at, or distal to, the 
second submedian cross-vein, anal “angle” less convex; a pale ante- 
humeral stripe present; males with the terminal third of the superior 
appendages a little more acute and tapering, genital hamule smaller, 
subequally prominent with the genital lobe, angles of the truncated 
apex of the outer branch rounded off 2 ee ew e eo. angustipennis. 
Labium yellow, unmarked with black or with a small median trangulat 
black spot; hind wings narrow. . . . . angustipennis type.

Hind wing with ¢wo postcostal cells between the origin of the distal sub. 
basal sector and the hind angle of the triangle, distal subbasal sector 
arising proximal to the second submedian cross-vein, anal “ angle” 
more convex; no pale antehumeral stripe; labium yellow with a median 
subtriangular black spot; males with the superior appendages less 
acute and tapering, genital hamule larger, distinctly more prominent 
than the genital lobe, angles of the truncated apex of the outer branch 
much less rounded off ©. 2. 2. 1. 1. 1 1 ew ew ee we ew ew  viben. 
As some of these characters are variable, a brief discussion is desirable here. 
To the colour of the labiwm considerable importance has been assigned ; its variations are indicated in several 
places in the following text. It is important to note that its pattern is independent of the presence or
