the Genus Raphidia. 497 
last segment shorter than broad, rounded and elongate when 
viewed from above, triangular when viewed from the side. 
Female.—Similar to R. xanthostigma. 
10. Raphidia taurica, Hagen, (n. sp.). 
Male.—Similar to R. ophiopsis ; the triangular excision in the 
penultimate segment above broad, shorter; penis triangular, broad 
at the base, plain beneath; crotchets yellow, very large, almost 
longer than the last segment; the latter a little longer than 
broad, apical margin rounded, quadrangular when viewed from 
the side, with the apical margin obliquely excised. 
11. Raphidia armeniaca, Hagen, (n. sp.). 
Male.—Similar to R. taurica; the penis more elongate, narrower 
at the base; crotchets brown, shorter and stronger; last segment 
rounded when viewed from the side. 
12. Raphidia cognata, Rambur. 
Male.—Penultimate segment broader than long, scarcely ex- 
cised at the apex above; sides excised at the apex, with a trian- 
gular plate inserted in the excision, ending internally in a black 
crotchet, curved upwards, short, stout at the base, and con- 
cealed under the last segment; still further inwards are two other 
crotchets, short, strongly inflated at the base, black ; between these 
is the penis, which is somewhat cordate at the base, with an im- 
pressed line in the middle, canaliculated and narrow in the apical 
half; last segment as long as the preceding one, ovoid when 
viewed from the side, triangular when viewed from beneath, the 
margins rolled inwards. 
Female.—Last ventral segment prolonged in the middle, with 
the apical border rounded. 
13. Raphidia bavarica, Hagen, (n. sp.). 
Male.—Penultimate segment much more elongated beneath 
than above, twice as long as broad; otherwise the arrangement 
is similar to R. cognata. The inserted plate larger and more 
elongate, with the crotchet shorter and black; the interior 
crotchets longer, brown, slender, curved inwardly at the apex, 
almost covered externally by membrane ; penis narrow, slightly 
longer than the crotchets ; last segment very small and short, with 
the border straightly cut when viewed from the side; beneath at 
the base with two black crotchets, curved downwards and back-
