 brownish-ochreous ; venter brownish-ochreous or brownish, some- 

 times the last segment entirely dark brown ; ^ forceps ochreous- 

 brown or light brown, armed with two outer movable, and one 

 inner fixed, claw-like appendages (PI, xxiv., fig. 65) ; ovipositor 

 ochreous-brown, more or less reddish, upper valves elongated, 

 slightly curved, lower valves shorter. Coxee fulvous or light 

 brown, covered with a grey bloom. Femora somewhat obscure 

 fulvous or testaceous, with a broad black ring at apex ; genua pale ; 

 tibiae obscure fulvous or testaceous at basal half, gradually darkening 

 into black towards apex ; tarsi black, in the hind feet the meta- 

 tarsal joints ochreous-yellow, with a black ring at the apex.* Wings 

 with a brownish tint, with two dark brown spots ; first spot small, 

 squarish, at origin of second longitudinal vein, the second running 

 obliquely from costa (at stigma, which it envelopes) to small cross- 

 vein or the inner end of discal cell ; veins dark brown. Auxiliary 

 vein reaching costa opposite or beyond inner end of second sub- 

 marginal cell ; sub-costal cross-vein a little before its tip, obliquely 

 situated ; marginal cross-vein indistinct (owing to stigma) situated 

 a distance equal to twice its length from tip of first longitudinal ; 

 tip of first longitudinal vein opposite middle of anterior branch of 

 second longitudinal ; preefurca a little arcuated at its base, straight, 

 tolerably long ; petiole of first sub-marginal cell short, about half 

 the length of stigma; anterior branch of second longitudinal almost 

 straight, reaching costa nearly mid-way between tip of first longi- 

 tudinal and that of posterior branch of second longitudinal ; the 

 latter branch slightly arcuated posteriorly towards its tip ; second 

 posterior cell two-thirds the length of third posterior ; discal cell 

 longer than wide, the great cross-vein at or rather beyond its
