Scales of fore wing xX 280; rs = Marginal scales. 
The scales are moderately slender, and usually expand feeble 
towards the end, where they are directly or somewhat roundly 
truncated. The slender marginal scales (rs) rarely show an extreme- 
ly shallow emargination at the end (cf. fig. 4). The distal part of 
the subcosta, which closes the pterostigma in the fore wing, appears 
to be partly present in this species, and partly absent. It is cer- 
tainly present in Nos. 81, 84, 85, and 95, whereas otherwise it is 
apparently lacking (Nos. 87, 89, 92). 
Fig. 5.—A. paradoxum, Hag. Claw x 280. 
Claw with two teeth before the curved apex ; before the teeth 
three or moré-bristle-like hairs ( fig. 5 from No. 89). The length of 
the first joint of the posterior tarsus varies from 0°85—-0°88 mm. ; 
that of the second joint from 0:08-0:09 mm.; that of the third 
from 0°1-0'12 mm. ; the number of ctenidia on the first hind tarsal 
joint varies between 29 and 32; one specimen has 34 (No. 95). 
The above statements supplement Hagen’s detailed description 
(l.c. 1882). Locality: In East Prussian amber. 
I had at my disposal Nos. 81, 82, 84-87, 89, 92,93, 95, and 162 
(nymph) from the Kiinow Collection. Nos. 81 and 85 present a 
quite colourless gold gleaming scaling ; these animals had probably 
been sun-dried and bleached before they were completely saturated 
with the resin. ;
