New or Little Known Species of the Hemerohiidce. 437 



flavescent patch ; labial palps extremely long, apical joint gradually 

 thickening towards the tip, but not at all tapering there in the 

 manner of the majority of the species of Palmares known to me ; 

 prothorax sub-fulvescent with the customary three fuscous black 

 patches, more than twice longer than broad in both sexes; pro- 

 notum plainly bi-impressed transversely ; abdomen, clasps included, 

 as long as the fore wing in the S" > shorter by one-third in the ? , 

 and plainly yellowish ; the clasps in the S nearly as long as the 

 ultimate segment, moderately arcuate and of the usual type. Head 

 glabrous ; pronotum fringed in front and on the sides with rigid 

 black hairs, the remainder of the thorax above and below clothed 

 with a moderately thick, long greyish pubescence ; abdomen briefly 

 and sparingly setulose. 



Wings hyaline, of similar shape in both sexes, and ornamented 

 with fuscous brown patches, spots and bands ; the nervules are pale 

 flavescent. Pore wings : Costal area with a row of spots, set on 

 each nervule, from a short distance from the base to the pterostigma 

 which is short, flavescent, and is followed by a triangular patch, 

 which does not reach the apical turn of the wing ; the sub-costal 

 area is very narrow, and without fuscous patches in the 3' ', there 

 are three fuscous brown bands, the ante-median, narrow in the male, 

 broader in the female, is interrupted towards the hind part, the 

 second reaches only to two-thirds of the width, the third, a nearly 

 apical one, is broadly interrupted in the centre, the upper part 

 coalescing with the post-pterostigmal patch, the lower reaching 

 nearly the hind border; along the fourth longitudinal rib runs a 

 series of semi-connected fuscous spots reaching from near the base 

 to the first cross band, and the whole hind border and also the 

 apical fore border is speckled with closely set fuscous brown dots. 



Hind wings slightly shorter than the anterior, hyaline and having 

 three cross fuscous brown bands extending across the whole width 

 of the disk ; the first is greatly dilated transversely in the centre, and 

 there is beneath it along the border a small dot or patch with which 

 it sometimes coalesces, being thus bifurcate on the hind part, the 

 second one, equally broad, is united in the central part by a narrow 

 ramus with the first, and somewhat incised near the hind border, the 

 third is apical and plainly divided longitudinally in the centre in the 

 3' , but only incised in the $ , and encloses at the very apex a 

 hyaline but pluri-dotted space. 



Legs flavescent, with some black spines and greyish hairs ; tibial 

 spurs nearly as long as the three basal joints, straight, very little 

 inflexed.
