Type, the following species: — 



Cryptoperla torva, sp. no v. 

 (PI. xix, figs. 15 — 21.) 



A single female specimen from Kulu, W. Himala3'-as (Reg. 

 No. ^V~). 



Length 9 mm., and antennae 7 mm. additional ; setse wanting. 



Colour nearly uniform pale 3'ellowish brown, a little paler 

 beneath and on the setse and bases of legs. Head very flat above, 

 its disc margined anteriorly by an irregularly semicircular elevated 

 margin, which overhangs the base of the antennae, and beneath 

 which the face is vertical. Ocelli apparently two but very obscure. 

 Antenna with the obliquel}'- conic second segment set at an angle 

 upon the stout basal segment ; there appears considerable irregu- 

 larity in the slenderer segments immediately following ; there are 

 forty or more segments in all. Maxilla with palpus of normal 

 length, but the labium with greatly abbreviated palpi having the 

 terminal segment conically pointed (pi. xix, fig. 21). 



The wings are subhy aline, slightly darker on the costal 

 margin, especiall}' in the stigmatic region : the venation is shown 

 in pi. xix, fig. 15. 



The eighth segment of the female is remarkably produced on its 

 ventral side in an enormous scoop-shaped concave plate, widely 

 truncated across the end, and covering the entire tip of the abdo- 

 men ventrally. Its lateral margins spring from the middle of the 

 sides of segment 9 (pi. xix, fig. la). 



Leuctra indica, sp. nov.

 the antennae and the middle of the abdomen, paler. Wings fumose 

 with brown veins. Venation shown in figure 3 of pi. xx. The end 

 segments of the abdomen are of a darker brown. The male append- 

 ages are shown in dorsal and lateral views in figures 4 and 5 of 

 plate xx. 



ODONATA. 



The collection in this order consists almost entirely of well 

 known representatives of the Indian fauna, and a list of it would 

 add httle to present knowledge. A single Gomphidia T -nigrum in 

 the I^efroy collection is the only Gomphine in the lot. Apart from 

 some of the smaller Agrioninae, which I may take occasion to report 

 on later, the most interesting specimens of the order were three 

 species collected rather recently by Dr. Annandale. Two of these 

 were from Bhim Tal, Kumaon; a fine pair of /I wo/ogas/^;' basalis,
