322 Mr. Shuckard's Monograph of the Dorylidoe, 



the first submarginal cell : legs castaneous, the femora elongate-ovate, 

 their outline rounded both above and below. 

 Abdomen obscure, the peduncle quadrate, gibbous, the ventral portion 

 slightly produced and boat-shaped, the remaining segments transverse ; 

 the sexual organ protruding at the apex of the terminal segment and 

 fringed. 



In the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope. 



This species is likewise from Bengal ; I am in doubt as to its in- 

 dividuality, or whether this or the former may be the species or the 

 variety, having seen only two of this and one of the preceding ; 

 but a comparison of the descriptions, which are very faithful, will 

 justify my considering them species ; there is however much less differ- 

 ence between them than between the D. Juvenculus and D. lahiatus.

Helvoltis, vcl testaceus, svbpubescenSy capite nigro vel rufo^ facie in medio sul- 

 cata, mandibulis suhtrigonis, nervis alarum brunneis vel iestaceis, pedun- 

 culo quadrato gibboso. 



Pale reddish, testaceous, opake, subpubescent, slender : head black, except 

 the mandibles, which, as well as the scape of the antennae, are pitchy, 

 the latter barely one-fifth the length of the organ, which is filiform and 

 elongate ; ocelli disposed in a triangle at the vertex, moderately large, 

 with about the space of the diameter of one between the posterior and 

 anterior, in front of which the face (which is convex) is sulcated ; man- 

 dibles broad and very slightly curved, their inner edge acute with an 

 obtuse angulation at the base within. 



Thorax gibbous in front and at the scutellum, the latter transverse with a 

 longitudinal impression in the centre ; metathorax produced slightly 

 and rounded posteriorly ,• wings obscure, their nervures reddish brown, 

 the cubital slightly waved, the recurrent straight and inserted at less 

 than two-thirds of the length of the first submarginal cell ; legs casta- 

 neous, the femora elongate-ovate, their outline rounded both above 

 and below. 



Abdomen obscure, the peduncle quadrate, gibbous, the ventral portion very 

 slightly, obtusely portioned, the remaining segments transverse, the 

 sexual organ protruding at the apex of the terminal segment, and 

 fringed. 



In my own collection. 

 Var. et. Pale testaceous ; head red. 



I am not sure of the locality of this species, but I believe it is 

 from the Gambia. In many points of description it agrees with the 

 two preceding, from which however, besides size, an ocular inspec- 

 tion shows them to be apparently different.
