44 Mr. R. M'Lachlan on the Neuropterous Genus 



gined, the produced portion being crenulate and black ; sockets 

 of the ocelli black ; disk with fine wavy, intricate, raised lines. 

 Mandibles and antennae black. Prothorax much narrower 

 than the head, longer than broad, finely transversely rugose, a 

 lanceolate smooth space in the middle posteriorly ; on each 

 side is a black vitta divided into two elongate spots, whereof 

 the lower is the longer and is furcate at its upper end. Meso- 

 and metathorax and abdomen dull ochreous ; last abdominal 

 segment produced in its middle above into a somewhat qua- 

 drate process ; superior appendices moderately long, the tips 

 thickened, clothed with fine yellowish pubescence ; inferior 

 appendices long, two-jointed, the second joint abruptly curved 

 inwards in the form of an acute claw ; penis (?) long, flat, the 

 sides parallel, the apex acuminate, sulcated beneath, and 

 bifid, the two extreme tips turned slightly outwards. Legs 

 dull ochreous, with all the tibige and tarsi black. 



Wings greyish, subhy aline, the posterior pair paler ; in the 

 anterior wings all the costal veinlets strong and black ; the basal 

 veinlets and those between the radius and sector also strong 

 and black, and margined with black ; apical veinlets fuscous ; 

 longitudinal veins yellow : posterior wings with the costal 

 veinlets, and those between the radius and sector, black. 



I have seen one male. The part which I have called the 

 penis, in this and the last species, is perhaps not truly that 

 organ, and may be only a greatly elongated lower valve.
