the subapical vein with a very faint flexure, ending in the costal margin 

 farther from the tip of the wing than is usual in this section. Black 

 edge of lamellae narrow, jagged at the tip. Legs pale yellow, fore coxae 

 pale yellow, immaculate ; the hind tarsi, the middle pair except the me- 

 tatarsus, and the last joint of the fore pair, with a small spot at the tip 

 of the hind tibise, black. The legs of male are very long, the fore coxae 

 naked and glossed with white, the fore tarsus more than twice as long as 

 the tibia and very slender, the intermediate joints of equal length, the 

 first rather longer, the last joint extremely short, dilated, deep black, 

 with a white speck at the base.

Brassy-green ; front bluish-green ; face white. Antenna black, the 

 lower edge of the first joint tawny yellow. Wings obscure hyaline, darker 

 in the female ; flexure of subapical vein obtuse-angled, sometimes with a 

 rudiment of a branch. Black edge of lamellae of moderate breadth, 

 deeply jagged at the tip. Legs yellow ; fore coxa yellow, with the base 

 grey ; hind tibiae dusky at the tip ; hind tarsi, middle pair except the 

 metatarsus, and the tip of the fore pair black. In the male, the fore 

 tarsus is fully half as long again as the tibia, the joints decreasing in 

 length to the fourth, which is a little compressed and pale, the Jifth 

 joint as long as the fourth, compressed, much dilated, somewhat trian- 

 gular, deep black.

 06s. D.plumitarsiSj Tin. dol. 10. 4, which has been introduced 

 into the British lists also, has the twist of the subapical vein 

 almost rectangular, and the fore coxae immaculate yellow; the 

 last two joints of the fore tarsus in the male are dilated and 

 feathered, black. I have not seen a native specimen of it.
