Panorpa, -i^ 



9. Panorpa Ghiltanii, n. sp. (PI. IV. fig. 9) . 



Ttirin (received from the Chevalier Victor Ghiliani) . 



A small species, and strongly marked with black. In 

 the anterior wings there is a small spot in the disc near 

 the base, three spots before the middle, a small costal 

 spot in the middle, a sub-apical fascia formed by a large 

 costal spot emitting two narrow branches to the inner 

 margin, and a very broad black apex, which encloses one 

 or two pale dots at its upper and lower edges. Third 

 abdominal segment (c^) not produced above; sixth 

 formed as in P. annexa, but longer, and with the apex 

 more produced above, as in P. mefidionalis ; seventh in- 

 serted below the excision, slightly shorter than the sixth, 

 formed much like that in P. annexa, but shorter, thinner 

 at the base, the upper edge less swollen, and the swelling 

 further from the base, afterwards less concave and less 

 elevated at the apical margin ; eighth shorter than the 

 seventh, sub-cylindrical, scarcely cone-shaped ; appen- 

 dices of the last segment short, flattened, rather broad, 

 obtusely rounded at the apex, nearly parallel (a larger 

 lobe at the base of the claws of this segment). 



I have seen two ^ and one ? of this distinct species.

Central Europe, South of England, Belgium. 



Wings less marked than any of the European species, 

 excepting P. alpina, and the markings are brown, and 

 not black or blackish ; ordinarily there is a small dot at 

 the commencement of the second sector, a large more or 

 less quadi'ate spot at the pterostigma, scarcely united 

 to a smaller one below it, and an irregular apical spot 

 (but frequently theie are only the apical spot and that 

 at the pterostigma) . The third abdominal segment is 

 considerably produced in the middle of its apical margin 

 above; sixth oblong, longer than broad, somewhat pro- 

 duced at its apex above, the sides excised; seventh sub- 

 cylindrical, its upper edge scarcely swollen near the base, 

 concave towards the apex, and with the apex slightly
