The male has the brown colour of a mottled appearance due 

 to the cells of the coloured parts of the wings bemg pale in their 

 centres. 



There is in the collection a female specimen of a Neurothemis 

 taken by Capt. Topin in the Kachin Hills. The abdomen has a 

 length of 19 mm., the hind- wing of 26 mm. The fore-wings are 

 suffused with golden brown along the costal margin, and at the 

 apex of the wing; the hind-wing is similarly coloured, whilst in 

 addition it is suffused at its basal part with a less intense colour, 

 reaching as far as three cells beyond the nodus. 



The specimen belongs to the intermedia group, but I cannot 

 assign it to a more exact position.
