THELEPROCTOPHYLLA 1URRARA AND VARIEGATA. 



97 



long black spines on the iu- 

 side. A transverse tooth in 

 the middle of each appendix. 

 Tip of the appendices straight, 

 club-shaped. 



Appendices of the female 

 consisting in a pair of red 

 relatively longer forceps-ap- 

 pendages as in variegata, but 

 they are clothed all around 

 with longer black spines. I 

 have not seen the phylla: in 

 all the female-specimens they 

 were broken off. 



Forewings broad, with ob- 

 tuse tip; a round brown spot 

 below the pterostigma. The 

 latter brown, with at least 

 5 cross-veinlets and followed 

 successively by 2 and 3 rows 

 of cells. Network rather open. 

 Costal veinlets 18 — 21. 



Apex of the hindwings 

 placed distinctly beyond the 

 tip of the pterostigma of the 

 forewings. 



Hindwings of the same 

 shape as the forewings ; a 

 roundish brown spot below 

 the pterostigma. Pterostigma 

 as in the forewings, with 5 

 cross-veinlets. Costal veinlets 

 13—16. 



brown, the apical part yellow. 

 The trausverse tooth divides 

 the appendix in two parts: 

 the basal part is twice the 

 apical one. Tip of appendices 

 somewhat thickened, rectan- 

 gularly bent inwards. 



Appendices of the female 

 consisting in a pair of short, 

 gradually thickened ones, 

 which represent the forceps 

 of the male. They are yellow 

 and clothed with long black 

 spines. The phylla are red, 

 elongate rectangular, about as 

 long as the last 3 abdominal 

 segments. 



Forewings rather narrow, 

 with more acute tip ; no trace 

 of a brown spot. Pterostigma 

 smaller, brown in the basal 

 part, yellow in the apical one; 

 always 5 cross-veinlets; it is 

 followed by only 2 rows of 

 cells. Network open. Costal 

 veinlets 16 — 17. 



Apex of the hindwings 

 placed about in a level with 

 the tip of the pterostigma of 

 the forewings. 



Hindwings triangular, as 

 broad as the forewings, with 

 more obtuse apex; no brown 

 spot below the pterostigma, 

 but in the whole disk or 

 only below the pterostigma 

 the veinlets are bordered with
