cells two or three rows wide, two rows of postrigonal cells in 

 front wing, one or two in hind wing ; distal thickened ante- 

 nodal the fifth ; anal angle well developed in the male, the tri- 

 angle 2- or 3-celled (the venation of C? demcrarae known to 

 me only from de Selys' brief description). 



The figures of C. wait her i have been prepared for me by 

 M. Menger at Bruxelles through the good offices of Dr. F. Ris. 



Explanation of Plates VIII and IX. 

 All the figures are of males. 



1. Wings of Cyanogomphns conchimis, n. sp. 



2. Wings of Cyanogomphus walthcri. 



3 and 4. Abdominal segment 10 and appendages, in profile and dor- 

 sal views, of C. zi'althcri. 



5. Abdominal segment 2, in profile, of C. walthcri. 



6. Diagram of thoracic color pattern of C. conchimis. n. sp. 



7. Abdominal segment 2, in profile, of C. conchimis, n. sp. 



8. Abdominal segments 9 and 10 and appendages, in profile, of C.

9 and 10. Dorsal and ventral views of abdominal appendages of C. 

 conchinus, n. sp. Notice in fig. 10 the curved basal projections of 

 the superior appendages which overlap the broadened base of the 

 inferior; apparently the only way in which the superiors can be 

 released is by a wide spreading in the dorso-ventral direction of 

 the superiors above and the inferior below.
