 hyaline ; the superior with the pterostigma oblong, the cell on the pos- 

 terior margin open, slightly curved, three slightly interrupted transverse 

 brown bands, one at the base, one at the middle, and the third at the 

 base of the pterostigma, broadest on the posterior margin ; besides 

 these, there is a brown cloud before the apex ; the bands follow slightly 

 the course of the veins they , cross ; posterior wings hyaline, with two

Madeira. 



P. marmoratus belongs to the group of P.fuscopterus of Latreille, 

 but it is smaller, the posterior cell bordered by a less curved nervure, 

 the head white. By the markings of the wings and the size it comes 

 near P. pupillatus of Dale, but this last is darker, and the posterior 

 cell is altogether wanting. Finally, marmoratus differs from all allied 

 species by the dark clouds on the posterior wings. 



No. 7.
