298 NEUROPTERA. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith: 3 6,8 %).—CouomBria, Bonda in 
Dept. Magdalena (H. H. Smith, Carn. Mus. Pittsb.: 1 3,1 ¢), Turbo® (Dr. Maak, 
M. C. Z.: 1 9%), Sta. Fé de Bogota (Lindig?*); Ecvapor, Duran [1 s], Guayaquil 
[2 3,22] (Campos R., A. N.S.); Braz (coll. Smith, M. C. Z.: 1 8), Obydos §, 
Tajajos °, Para®; Wesr Inpres, Havana (Baker, coll. P.P.C.. 16,19 ) and Cardenas ! 
in Cuba, Samana in Hayti (Frazar, M.C. Z.: 4 3). 
Taken in February and March at Teapa, in February ° also at Obydos, in July * at 
Cardenas, in August at Duran, in November and December at Bonda. 
In June 1899 I compared the Brazilian male (M. C. Z.) with the type of ¢tphagena, 
Hag., and satisfied myself that it was the same species. There seems to be no doubt 
that australis and iphigenia are the same species, as Hagen suggested ! and as Dr. Ris 8 
asserts. The latter employs iphigenia as the specific name, but australis precedes it in 
the original publication’, Hagen’s remark? that “australis is an aberrant species, 
perhaps belonging to Lepthemis, near L. cardinalis,” is rather puzzling, seeing the 
differences in the hind prothoracic lobe, the position of the arculus, the genital hamule 
of the male, &c. (cf. pp. 202, 203, antea). 
2. Tauriphila azteca, sp. n. 
In addition to the details given on page 297 :— 
3. Face and lips pale brown, or even greenish-brown, in young, becoming metallic-violet on vertex and upper 
surface of frons and blackish on median and adjoining parts of lateral labial lobes with age. Thorax 
pale brown on the sides, darker and with violet reflection on the dorsum. Abdomen perhaps bright 
yellow in life in young, becoming browner with age, marked at all ages as described on page 297. 
Appendages (in bad condition) and genitalia of the second abdominal segment apparently as in australis. 
Legs pale brown (young), dark brown with the coxz, under surface of first femora, and upper surface of 
second femora pale brown (older individuals). 
2. The single example has some distinct metallic-blue on frons superiorly and vertex, although not so intense 
as in the older males, no reflection from the thoracic dorsum, ground-colour of the abdomen pale brown, 
femora pale brown, darker at their apices; otherwise, including abdominal markings, as in the male. 
Vulvar lamina as in australis ; abdominal segment 10 and appendages lost. 
& 9. Front wings yellowish-brown at base out to about one-third-way to first antecubital, some very pale 
yellow on the anterior margin from the origin of the subnodal sector to the stigma or not so far; 
12 (Guadalajara ¢, Atoyac 3) or 13 (other two) antecubitals. Hind wings with a brown spot at base 
in costal, subcostal, and median spaces out to half- or three-fourths-way to first antecubital, and a larger 
brown spot, veined with yellow, in submedian and postcostal spaces, reaching from the base to a little 
beyond the origin of A, and backward along the anal margin 3-5 cells beyond the apex of the mem- 
branule; membranule grey, its free edge paler, white or almost so; 7 (Guadalajara ¢, Atoyac 3) or 8 
(other two) antecubitals. 
Dimensions. Abdomen, ¢ 29, 2 34?; hind wing, ¢ 36-37, 2 36:5; costal edge of stigma of front wing 8-3°5,
