ment dorsally). Thorax and abdomen whitish haired. Femora 

 and tibiae reddish yellow; the tibiae with brownish apex. 

 Tarsi blackish brown; the spurs brownish. Claws rather long 

 and slightly curved in their apical part, each of them pro- 

 vided with a rather large dent in the middle ventrally; the 

 tip of each dent cleft. Legs with long whitish hairs, mingled 

 with blackish, especially ventrally. Membrane of wings hya- 

 line; nervature påle, except where the forewings are spotted. 

 The spöts on basal third part of the forewing brownish black, 

 on the rest brownish yellow. R with a black streak, where it 

 touches the spöts. Pterostigma greyish yellow, with a dark 

 spöt at its base; in the hindwing rather indistinct. 



Length of body 29 — 33 mm; that of forewing 32 — 38 mm; 

 that of hindwing 30 — 35 mm.

Distoleon verticalis (pl. 1, fig. 5) Banks, Ann. Ent. Soc. 

 Amer., p. 42, 1910. — One specimen in alcohol from Cape 

 York, September. Length of forewing 27 mm; that of hind- 

 wing 26 mm. 



I refer the specimen to the above named spe- 

 cies although there seems to be some smäll diffe- 

 rences as to the markings on the head. The genus 

 Distoleon Banks (loc. cit.), the genotype of which is 

 verticalis, is nearly allied to the genus Formicaleon. 



The free basal part of Cwj 

 in the forewing is rather 

 short, and it coalesces with 

 lA when it reaches the 

 first crossvein emitted from 

 Cu^ . 2 A and 3 A coalesce 

 for a short distance. 2 A 

 is simple; 3 A forked. In 

 the hindwing i ^ is simple 

 as in Formicaleon. 2 A not rig. 7.
