134 Mr. H. Campion on some 



half, dark orange-bvown beyond ; 8 and 9 dark orange-brown ; 

 10 } T ellowish brown. In ventral view segments 1-7 greenish 

 brown ; 8-10 deep yellow. Genitalia of segment 2 deeply 

 sunk in the genital fossa, and, being also thickly clothed 

 with hairs, are very difficult to examine. 



Anal appendages dark orange-brown, hairy. The upper 

 pair shorter than segments 9 and 10 taken together, divergent 

 for more than half their length, then abruptly convergent; a 

 sharp triangular internal tooth before the inward bend. The 

 lower appendage very short, hairy, triangular, notched at the 

 apex. 



The second male (paratype) carries two white labels and a 

 green one, each of them inscribed in the same manner as the 

 corresponding label attached to the holotype. The abdomen 

 measures 15 mm., while the length of the hind wing and 

 pterostigma remains as in the holotype. At the margin of 

 the wing there are three cells between M 2 and Rs in both fore 

 wings and possibly also in the left hind wing, while there 

 are two only in the right hind wing ; three cells between M 3 

 and M 4 in the right, fore wing and two cells in the other three 

 wings ; four (three wings) to five (one wing) cells between 

 Cu] and Cu 2 . In the fore wings there are 17-19 antenodals 

 and 10 postnodals ; in the hind wings 13-11 antenodals and 

 12-13 postnodals.

Each of these species was described from a unique male 

 specimen, the first from N.E. Brazil and the second from 

 Ecuador, and each of the descriptions was accompanied by a 

 single figure. Kirby's figure represented the entire insect, 

 and was of little scientific value, while that given by Calvert 

 was a left profile view of the apical segments of the abdomen. 

 The close relationship subsisting between the two species has 

 hitherto escaped attention, but, upon comparing with Kirby's 

 type (PI. VI. fig. 6) the anal appendages of G. camposi, as 

 figured by Calvert, I found the resemblance to be so strong 

 that I was induced to read the description of G. camposi with 

 the type of G. caherti before me. Such differences as became 

 apparent did not seem to afford any clear proof of specific dis- 

 tinctness, and correspondence with Dr. Calvert, who was kind 

 enough to re-examine the type of his own species, brought to
