The tarsi 5-jointed. The abdomen sub-sessile. The antennae 
of the male 13-jointed, those of the female 8-jointed. The wings 
broad and elliptical -75 mm. long x ‘208 mm. broad. The costal 
nerve very long. The ovipositor level with the tip of the abdomen. 
NEUROTES IRIDESCENS, n. sp. (Plate A, figs 1 and 2.) 
The general colour dark brown; the head broader than the thorax. 
The antennae of the male 13-jointed, dark brown, 1 mm. in length, 
the scape twice as long as the funicular joint, the third to the 
twelfth joints of equal length; the thirteenth a little short. 
The antennae of the female 8-jointed ‘57 mm. long. The scape 
and pedicel testaceous, the latter a little longer than the first funicular 
joint, the others gradually diminishing in length to the club, which 
is the longest joint and rounded at the tip. The ovipositor level 
with the tip of the abdomen. The wings narrower and shorter 
than those of the male. The costal nerve very long, reaching to 
beyond the middle of the wing, the tip slightly enlarged. The 
cilia long. The surface hairs most numerous at the base and 
margins of the wing, leaving an almost clear oval area in the centre. 
The cilia long on the lower wings. The legs lighter brown than 
the body, and darkest in the centre. 
Length 1 mm.
