apical direction near its centre than at the sides — a 

 character which appears more strongly still in the next 

 species. 



13. Pimctatus, Morawitz. PI. VIT, 13, 13a. 



My specimens (from Pest) were given me by Herr 

 Friese. I never found it myself. 



The armature and seventh ventral plate have a certain 

 resemblance to those of fodiens. But their colour is much 

 paler ; the stipites are very differently formed, their central 

 portion being comparatively short and broad, while the 

 apical portion on the contrary is very elongate and strongly 

 pilose ; there is a peculiar thickening of the membrane at 

 each apical outer corner of the " wings " in the sagittae ; 

 and the lobes of the seventh ventral plate are much more 

 narrowly rounded at their apices — almost pointed. 



A character common to this species and the two last is 

 the truncate appearance (at the apex) of the " wings " of 

 the sagittae. This is unusual in the genus ; the " wings " 

 are generally either rounded apically or produced into a 

 form resembling the point of a penknife. 



14. Bracatus, Perez. PI. VII, 14, 14a. 



I have received this very large and handsome species 

 from the author. Specimens taken by myself in Egypt 

 agree with it exactly, both externally and in the characters 

 of the armature and the concealed segments. These have 

 been described by Herr Friese under the name grandis, 

 but Prof. Perez's name is the older, and must be adopted. 



The form of the seventh segment and the disposition of 

 its cloudings to a certain extent recall those oi fodicus, but 

 the apical margin has a different (double) sinuation, and 

 the colour is extremely different — the lighter parts being 

 yellowish, and the darker a beautiful orange-red. 



The armature is quite unlike that of any preceding 

 species. The stipites, indeed, are not unlike those of 

 pundatus, but the sagittae are altogether of another type. 

 The " wings" are nearly clear, only faintly yellowish, and 

 the more solid part has two distinct basal dilatations, the 

 more apical of which is not — as is usual in such cases — 

 dentiform.

This is another very large species — one of the few which
