234 MAJOR F. C. FRASER ON 



Head matt black marked with a small, transversely oval, blue 

 spot on either side of the central ocellus, and a large, blue, postocular 

 spot. Labium white, labrum and epistome and cheeks greenish, the 

 former traversed by a bvoad, black stripe. 



Prothorax with the posterior lobe projecting backwards medi- 

 ally in a tongue-like process, black with a yellowish green collar in 

 front and a streak of the same colour on the posterior border limited 

 above by the small, medial lobe mentioned above. 



Thorax black on the dorsum marked by a fine, blue, ante- 

 humeral stripe, laterally bluish turning to greenish-yellow low down 

 on the sides and marked by a moderately broad, black stripe on the 

 postero-lateral suture. 



Abdomen long and slender, black marked with greenish-blue 

 or blue. The 1st segment entirely greenish-blue except for a small, 

 black, quadrate, dorsal spot ; 2nd segment has a marking like the 

 spectacles on the hood of a cobra and resembling somewhat that seen 

 in Agriocnemis d'abreui and Agriocnemis clauseni ; the dorsum is 

 black, this colour constricted apically so that only a narrow stem of 

 black remains on the dorsal carina, whilst basally there are two 

 large, subdorsal, blue, oval spots ; segments 3 to 6 have long, narrow, 

 subdorsal lines traversing the basal three-fourths of each segment 

 and encroaching on the black at either end so that the enclosed black 

 tapers abruptly at either end and forms a thick, black annule at the 

 apex of each segment ; segment 7 has only two small, subdorsal, blue 

 spots at the base ; segment 8 is entirely black, and 9 and 10 are en- 

 tirely azure blue, the latter shallowly notched behind. Superior 

 anal appendages black, paler beneath and inwardly, rather longer 

 than the 10th segment. Viewed from above they are strongly divari- 

 cate, swollen at the base and then constricted and again broadening 

 so as to appear slightly clubbed at the apex. Seen from the side 

 they are foliate, the apex turned down abruptly and ending in a 

 small point. The inferior appendages are very tiny and have been 

 too damaged for purposes of examination. 



Wings hyaline; stigma rather elongate, blackish, the circum- 

 ference paler ; the arc is situated widely distal to the 2nd antenodal
