Neuroptera Odonata. 167 



10-12 cellules, the lower side longer than the upper, 

 inner side very oblique, apical side angular, owing to 

 the insertion of a broken vein, which divides the post- 

 stigmatical costal cellules into two rows. Forty ante- 

 cubital nervules, and about ninety post-cubital, in the 

 anterior wings. 



Length of body? (27 lines =57 mill., to end of sixth 

 segment) . Expanse of wings, 45 lines ( = 94 mill.) . 



Hah. — Amoy, in China, 



This fine insect somewhat reminds one of Echo mar- 

 garita in its coloration, but is nearly half as large again. 



EujjJicea compar, n. sp. 



(? . Head and thorax black ; ocelli yellow, Protliorax 

 with a large raised round red spot on each side. Thorax 

 proper with red lines arranged thus: — one at the lateral 

 suture, continued round in front halfway down the dorsum, 

 giving the idea of this line being connected with a short 

 humeral one ; below this are three lines, each of which is 

 continued round at its lower end, forming a hook ; inter- 

 alar space spotted with red. Legs black, the tibiae dark 

 piceous externally. Abdouten pale brown; second seg- 

 ment not armed with a tooth on each side of the genitals : 

 sutures of segments, and the longitudinal ventral suture, 

 narrowly blackish (terminal segments wanting) , 



Anterior ivings narrow, hyaline, slightly discoloured, the 

 costal margin tinted with brownish-yellow up to the 

 nodus; pterostigma long, black, surmounting nine cel- 

 lules. Posterior imngs strongly dilated in the middle; 

 basal portion hyaline up to slightly within the nodus ; 

 the costal margin brownish; extreme apex, from about 

 the middle of the pterostigma, also hyaline ; the rest of 

 the wing occupied by a very broad blackish fuscous band, 

 with golden reflections, this band commencing slightly 

 nearer the base than the nodus, its inner margin nearly 

 straight, the outer slightly convex. 



$ . Head : labrum with two large yellow spots, and a 

 similar spot on each side of it on the cheeks ; front with 

 a ti'iangular yellow spot on the margin of each eye. Pro- 

 thorax with two very large, round, raised yellow spots. 

 Thorax proper with the markings reddish-yellow, similar 

 to those of the S , but the humeral and first lateral stripe
