tend to form oblique bands over the cubital and anal veins, two or 

 three pale spots on margin of each apical cell. Hair on membrane 

 partly black, partly yellowish. Hind wings grayish, stigma more 

 yellowish, and some faint brown marks along outer margin. 



Forewings proportionally broader than in other species, venation 

 much as in others, fork one in forewings hardly or a little before the 

 second, in hindwings fork one beyond or almost equal to fork two, 

 fork three of forewings with the usual short pedicel. 



The ovipositor is very long, narrowed, and a little down-curved 

 near tip; its length is about twice the height of last abdominal 

 segment; its two internal blades have a thickened dorsal edge, and 

 end in a spine. It is not the gradually tapering ovipositor found in 

 various Rhyacophila but looks much like those of certain Orthopt^ra, 

 for example Udeopsylla.

I have described these females on account of the remarkably 

 orthopteroid ovipositor; they cannot be the females of any male of 

 Eimalopsyche that I have seen, and the females are described for 

 several that I have not seen. 



A male from Chengtu, 1933, is probably the male of this species; 

 the upper parts of the genitalia are greatly elongated, the tip of the 

 middle appendage ending (seen from above) in two lobes, each with 

 a small tooth, the lower appendages are long, widest toward tip, the 

 apical section more than twice as long as the basal part. The general 

 appearance, size, coloration, and venation agree with the females.

This is very similar to O. anale except in the male characters of 

 wing and genitalia; in the anal area of forewings the swollen area 

 is much shorter, scarcely halfway to end of the second anal vein, 

 whereas in G. anale it is more than two-thirds the way to end. In 

 G. anale the area is densely clothed with short, yellowish, scalelike 

 hairs all over; in G. aequalis there are some yellowish hairs in basal 

 half, not so scalelike, and beyond are few yellowish hairs but many 

 short black bristles. 



Venation is much as in G. anale, but the discal cell has a short straight 

 top, and there is a distinct connection back to the curve of the radius ; 

 cell two is broader at base than in G. anale, and the connection to
