ON SOME AUSTRALIAN ANISOPTERA, 



Thorax : dorsal bands scarcely 

 more than mere lines, short, 

 curved, whitish, each followed 

 by three spots behind, one each 

 side of interalar ridge, close up 

 to dorsal ridge; and one, larger 

 and more rounded, above inter- 

 alar ridge and lying further 

 away from dorsal ridge. Hu- 

 mero-lateral band consisting of 

 three separate creamy -white 

 spots, the first two waved, the 

 third round; lower lateral sur- 

 face with four creamy spots. 



^.Abdomeu\ery much spotted 

 — 1, a large spot low down on 

 each side : 2, two basal spots, 

 two central transverse lines, 

 two apical spots, a large spot 

 on each auricle, a large creamy 

 band on each side of genitalia : 

 3-4, two basal, two central, and 

 two apical spots : 5, ditto, cen- 

 tral spots placed one-third from 

 base, apical spots very small : 

 4-7, a conspicuous comma-shaped 

 spot low down on each side : 

 6-7, apical spots absent or ob- 

 solescent, central spots close up 

 to basal spots, isolating a black 

 cross-mark : 8, basal and central 

 spots conjoined with two large 

 basal spots; a suspicion of two 

 lateral apical spots; two small 

 basal lateral spots : 9-10, two 

 lateral apical spots: 10 only 

 slightly raised dorsally inttj an 

 obtuse tuljercle. 



Thorax : dorsal bands more 

 conspicuous, longer, waved, pale 

 bluish-green, each followed by a 

 single spot just above interalar 

 ridge; humero-lateral band with 

 the first two waved spots en- 

 larged to form curved bands of 

 pale bluish- green; third spot as 

 in A. parvistiyma but bluish- 

 green; lower lateral surface with 

 four creamy spots touched with 

 blue or green 



^.Abdomen much less spotted 

 (the name multipuiictafa is un- 

 fortunate, from this point of 

 view) — 1, as in A. parvistiyma : 



2, a cross formed of four sepa- 

 rate bluish dorsal lines; on each 

 side, a curved apical spot; a 

 creamy spot on auricles, and 

 large band bordering genitalia : 



3, more pointed than in A. par- 

 vistiyma ; basal, central, and 

 apical spots bluish, much smaller 

 than in A. parvistiyma : 4-5, a 

 pair of central bluish spots very 

 close together; on each side a 

 lateral apical spot : 4-7, with 

 comma spot as in A. parvistiyma: 

 6-7, a pair of small slanting 

 spots close together one-third 

 from base : 8, two large bluish 

 basal spots : 9-10, with lateral 

 apical spots: 10, raised dorsally 

 into a laige, sharply-pointed 

 tubercle,
