NEUROPTERA 695 



Front wings with about 18 postcubitals, the stigma fuscous, its lower side covering 

 one cellule ; three cellules between the quadrilateral and the nodus. Postpterostigmatic 

 cellules forming a single row. 



Apical abdominal segment broadly emarginate ; the superior appendages about as 

 long as this, dilated on more than their basal half, the dilated part reddish and without a 

 distinct tooth on its lower margin apically, at most with a very minute notch in the 

 margin just before its apical angle. Seen from above the upper appendages are slightly 

 curved inwardly at the tips, the lower ones are red, black at the acute tips, and more 

 strongly curved inwards. 



Length of abdomen 35 mm., expanse about 45 mm. Female not known. Colour 

 variation not known. 



Hab. Oahu, near Honolulu, 1200 ft. Named after Prof. P. Calvert. 



Agt'ion adytum var. tillyai'di nov. 



Very slender and elongate, head and thorax dull black, the latter with slight 

 metallic reflection. Face black, apex of clypeus and labrum and the orbits to about 

 the height of the insertion of the antennae white or pale-coloured. Occipital margin of 

 the vertex red ; postocular spots wanting. Prothorax with the front margin yellow, as 

 also the whole underside ; dorsum of mesothorax with a yellow spot on each side at the 

 base, sometimes continued back as a fine sutural line to or nearly to the wings ; sides of 

 thorax yellowish, sometirries with a black spot in front of the insertion of the hind wings, 

 or with a continuous black longitudinal band in place of this spot. Thorax posteriorly 

 reddish. Legs for the most part blackish or brown above, yellow beneath, as also are 

 the tarsi for the most part above ; spines long slender and black. Basal two abdominal 

 segments black, the first yellowish or red at the base, sides, and along the apical margin, 

 the second with red apical margin and yellow on the sides, third segment reddish pitchy 

 or pitchy black and this like the preceding sometimes submetallic, the apex still darker, 

 fourth, fifth and base of sixth segments either quite red or else pitchy, the apices darker, 

 seventh with the extreme base red, eighth entirely red, or only its extreme base red, 

 two last segments red, sometimes more or less sordid or infuscate. Appendages red, 

 the tips black. Beneath the abdomen is yellow or reddish. 



Front wings with 16 — 20 postcubital cellules before the stigma, the latter wine-red, 

 overlying one and part of a second cell, three cellules between the quadrilateral and the 

 nodus. Superior appendages t as long as the terminal segment, much dilated basally, 

 when viewed inwardly ; in external profile view emarginate at apex to form a large 

 superior and small inferior process or tooth, both of which are black, the upper ones 

 seen from above a little bent inwards at the tip , lower appendages acute at tips, which 

 reach back to the small tooth of the upper ones.
