The following is a description of the type-female : — 



Total length 49 mm.; abdomen 30 mm.; expanse of wings 11 L 

 mm.; forewing 49 mm.; hindwing 47 mm. 



Head dark shining brown all over, edge of labrum and whole 

 of labium slightly paler; eyes bordered behind with paler brown: 

 Thorax shining brownish. A b d o m e n short, cylindrical, 

 fairly stout, dark brown with black transverse bands in the- 

 sutures' and a distinct black line crossing segment 3. Append- 

 ages short(l'4 mm) subcylindrical, rather pointed, slightly con- 

 verging. Wing s(see figure) with a beautiful colour-pattern of 

 dark semitranspai'ent brown, as follows : — between the costal 

 and anal veins, from base up to nodus and 4-5 mm. beyond it, 

 and completely filling the subcostal, median and submedian spaces, 

 (though in the costal space the upper half is practically clear, 

 leaving the cross-veins easily visible); the shading also completely 

 covers the hindwing triangle, but not that of the forewing. 

 Besides this, the tips of all four wings are suffused with rich brown 

 nearly to the level of the proximal end of the pterostigma. The 

 venation, as is usually the case in Camacinia and Neurothemis, is 

 somewhat less complicated than that of the male, especially in the 

 anal loop and surrounding areas of the hind-wing.
