390 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vor 2a8; 
a little upwards, shorter than the upper pair. Colour entirely 
black. 
Venation, 13 postnodals. Pterostigma rather large, covering 
one and a half cells, its anal margin longer than the costal and its 
inner side oblique. MM, rising from nerve descending from nodus, 
Rs one cell more distal. The rudiment of Cw, lies rather nearer 
the level of the second antenodal nerve than of the first. 
The female specimen is very immature and too much macerated 
for measurement. It is possible to determine that the colouring 
is generally similar to that of the male, but that segments 8 and 9 
of the abdomen have white lateral markings; also that the poste- 
rior lobe of the prothorax is simple and that segment 8 of the 
abdomen is about equal in length to segment 9. 
This species is readily distinguished from other members of 
the genus by the remarkable chelate superior anal appendages of 
the male. 
Protosticta carmichaeli, sp. n. 
(Text-fig. 3.) 
C.c. 1066-67 2 ¢ 22, Darjiling Dist.: Singla, 1500 ft. (spirit specimens, 
all in poor condition). 
@. Length of abdomen 35 mm., of hind-wing 22 mm. 
Head, upper lip bluish-white, the whole of the rest of the 
dorsal and posterior surfaces bronze-black. 
Prothorax and thorax also bronze-black dorsally ; underneath 
dull black. 
Abdomen, segment 1 dark brown. Segments 2-6 yellowish- 
brown, darker in the middle part of the segment. Each segment 
has a light apical ring and a dark ter- 
minal ring. Segment 7 is all dark brown 
save for a small apical ring which is 
light yellowish-brown. The three ter- 
minal segments are uniformly black, the 
tenth segment is very short. 
Pies 4 Anal aenvendaneeee The legs are yellowish-brown, with 
of Protosticta carmichaeli G, Cilia of the same colour. Anal appen- 
seen a little obliquely from the dages black, upper pair more than twice 
left ‘side. as long as the tenth segment. ‘They are 
A-shaped when seen in profile; towardsits distal extremity each is 
flattened a little from side to side. The lower pair is shorter than 
the upper pair, cylindrical and nearly straight; each curves in- 
wards a little at its free extremity. 
Venation, 13 postnodals on the fore-wing. Pterostigma cover- 
ing one cell, its anal margin a very little longer than its costal. 
M, rising from nerve descending from nodus, Rs about one cell 
distally. Rudiment of Cu, half-way between level of first and 
second antenodals. 
The condition of the female specimens is such as to make des- 
cription impossible. Generally speaking the colouring is similar to 
that of the male. ‘The posterior margin of the prothorax is simple.
