456 Dr. H. A. Hagen’s Notes on 
variable ; it resembles R. ophiopsis, but the lower part of the 
outer side is different; the subcosta ends a little later on in the 
costa than in ophiopsis. 
Male.--Penultimate segment very short, the inferior parts be- 
neath very strong, triangular, large, truncated at the apex, with a 
small crotchet; penis large, canaliculated beneath, curved up- 
wards. Last segment nearly absent, in form of a small border 
situated on the penultimate segment, recurved and open. 
Female.—Last ventral segment produced at the apex, with the 
apical border ovoid. 
6. Raphidia betica. 
The exact description of Rambur’s type is given by Schneider 
in the Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1845, p. 253. The males of this and R. 
hispanica are not in my collection. 
7. Raphidia hispanica. 
According to Schneider this resembles R. xanthostigma, but 
differs by the broader head with the sides more rounded before 
the neck, a band and spots before the antenne, red; ocelli equal ; 
bifid spots by the side of the ocelli, and three bands on the pro- 
thorax posteriorly ; wings very narrow, subcosta ending in the 
costa further from the pterostigma; the areole beneath commenc- 
ing one half of its length before the pterostigma and ending in 
its middle, pentagonal, irregular; the first marginal vein starting 
from the end of the inferior side of the pterostigma. 
8. Raphidia notata. 
According to Schneider very similar to R. media, but with only 
10 to 11 (rarely 13) antecubital nervules; 4 discoidal areoles, and 
the marginal veins simply forked; head more suddenly rounded 
behind; the areole below the pterostigma as in R. major. The 
types of R. notata, Ratzeburg, and R. major, Ratzeburg, are iden- 
tical, and both R. notata. 
Male.—The only male example known to me is not in a con- 
dition for a good examination of the anal parts; they seem ana- 
logous to those of R. ophiopsis; the last segment rather small. 
Female.—Last ventral segment with a small circular excision in 
the middle of the apex. 
9. Raphidia corsica, Hagen, (n. sp.). 
Male.—Similar to R. xanthostigma. Penultimate abdominal 
segment with the sides elongate elliptical, the crotchet short ;
