58 MECOPTERA AND PLANIPENNIA 
Body yellowish green, antennae yellow, about as long 
as the forewing, the basal joint thicker. Head yellow, eyes 
blackish brown, a black point at each side of the labrum. 
Mouthparts yellow, the palpi somewhat dark at the tips 
of the joints. 
Thorax yellow, the mesonotum often with two dark spots. 
Legs very short, yellow, the tips of the tarsi black and 
a black annulus in the middle of the anterior and median 
tibiae. Abdomen mostly brown by the decomposed entrails. 
Wings hyaline, nervature yellow. Pterostigma yellow to 
black. Most of the marginal- and costal veins ending ina 
fine black point. Most transverse veins clouded with pale 
fuscous in the forewing, where the following two blackish 
points often are developed: a large one at the hindborder 
near the base at the end of the analveins and a smaller 
one at the base of the internal row of gradate veins. The 
hindwings are much narrower; with the exception of the 
pterostigma and some clouded veins, there are no dark 
markings. The radialsector is not very much curved in 
both wings. The markings of the wings are larger or 
partly absent and very variable. 
Habitat: India, China to Insulinde. 
Ankylopteryx octopunctata octopunctata (Fabricius). 
I have not seen the specimens from Cochin-China, but 
no doubt they belong to this form. The description is 
very short, but the 3 markings on the forewings and the 
dark pterostigma of the hindwings justify this name. Also 
the size (like that of Drepanopteryx phalaenoides L.) agrees 
with this species. 
Ankylopteryx octopunctata candida (Fabricius). 
This is, judging from the short description, the form 
of India, which generally is larger than javanese specimens. 
I saw several examples.
