152 Mr. R. McLachlan on 
Palpares angustus, sp. ni. 
Head and thorax above yellowish-ochreous with a cinereous 
tinge: face whitish yellow: palpi blackish piceous, the labial about 
thrice the length of the maxillary, second and third joints nearly 
equal, clavate at the tips ; mandibles shining black ; antennz black, 
about as long as the pro- and meso-nota united : pronotum much 
broader than long, narrowed anteriorly, clothed with cinereous hairs, 
a broad median black longitudinal band (continued on the meso- 
and meta-nota and asa fine line on the hinder half of the vertex), 
sides broadly black, the disk divided into three raised portions by 
two deep transverse impressed lines; on the meso-notum (in addi- 
tion to the black median band) there is a fine curved black line on 
each lateral lobe and the black margins of the pronotum are also 
continued here, but narrower, and more vaguely also on the meta- 
notum: underside of thorax cinereous clothed with whitish hairs : 
legs black (coxee cinereous), with short stiff black hairs and fine 
adpressed cinereous pubescence : abdomen above olivaceous, becoming 
darker, and finally blackish, towards the apex, black beneath from 
base to apex, base clothed with rather short whitish hairs ; appen- 
dages of ¢ short (5 mm.), black, cylindrical, much curved, gradually 
clavate to the obtuse apex, clothed with dense short black hairs, 
Wings of ¢ long and narrow, the two pairs of about equal 
breadth, the anterior slightly longer; costal edge straight, the 
costal area narrow ;.inner margin gradually rounded and slightly 
sinuate in the apical portion ; ground colour whitish hyaline, more 
decidedly whitish in the posterior : anterior wings with the neuration 
mostly whitish (but the radius and upper cubitus nearly wholly 
black) rather closely and nearly evenly sprinkled with small black 
points, forming a double row along the inner margin from the apex, 
costal nervules mostly with a black point at each end and another 
in the middle ; there are also four fasciate black spots, (1) at about 
2ths. from the base small and not extending half across the wing 
(almost connected with larger points on the branch of the lower 
cubitus), (2) before the middle extending half across, sometimes 
interrupted or sometimes only an isolated discal spot, (3) some- 
what oblong, going half across, often broken up in the lower half 
(all these start from the radius), and (4) a pterostigmatic series of 
connected spots with an elongated linear one below them ; ptero- 
stigma small, whitish ; the sector radii originates in the first fasciate 
spot, and it has a branch directed towards the base ; posterior wings 
without the small black irrorations (save a few at the base of costal 
nervules), but with a series of rather large, more or less connected, 
black spots along the inner margin (except on the basal portion) ;
