52 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



lateral margins of the plate beneath, forming a longitudinal row ; their colour is dark 

 and their apices are strongly curved. 



The characters of the nervuration are those of the preceding species. 



Expanse 25 — 28 mm. 



Hab. Haleakala, Maui, 5000 ft. ; 3 ^, i ?. Probably common but overlooked. 



(12) Anomalochrysa f rater, sp. nov. 



Closely allied to and with the general appearance of A . viridis, which it resembles 

 in the form of the wings, and in the nervuration, and varies in the same way. The 

 pterostigmata are sometimes pale, sometimes olivaceous and very distinct. 



The ^ is easily known by the pubescence of the abdominal segments, the apical 

 portions of which are covered especially towards the sides with long and generally black 

 pubescence, which is directed towards the base of the abdomen, while the basal half of 

 each segment has only short and inconspicuous hairs. The apical dorsal plate has curved 

 hairs, similar to those of the two preceding species, but they are differently disposed, 

 occupying a considerable portion of the lower surface of the plate. 



I see no constant differences between the % of this species and that of A. viridis, in 

 spite of the conspicuous distinctions between the ^^, but the abdomen of the former sex 

 is invariably so greatly distorted in dried examples, that it is useless for the investigation 

 of specific characters. (Plate IV. fig. 18.) 



Expanse 26 — -32 mm. 



Hab. Island of Hawaii (2000 — 4000 ft.) ; common and generally distributed. 



(13) Anomalochrysa nana, sp. nov. 



A very small species, bright apple-green in life, with a sulphur-yellow mediodorsal 

 stripe from the front of the vertex to the apex of the abdomen. In the dried example 

 the body has for the most part become testaceous, or yellowish, and the yellow line has 

 to a considerable extent become indistinct, or disappeared. 



Anterior wings narrow, obtuse at the apex, hyaline and somewhat iridescent, the 

 nervuration green partly faded to yellowish, and rather conspicuously clothed with hairs, 

 which are not very closely set. Gradate nervules very regular, forming an upper and a 

 lower entire row of cellules, and between these other two rows for the length of a 

 few cellules, after which one of the series of gradate nervules fails and there is only a 

 single row of cellules between the upper and lower. There are only about 19 ante- 

 pterostigmatic cellules.
