316 ME. W. F. KIRBT— A EEVISION OF 



blackish ; mandibles red, black at the base. ThoraK extremely villous, testaceous 

 yellow, with black lines on the sutures of the pleura. Legs black ; coxae, trochanters, 

 and base and under surface of the femora reddish ; tibiae with rather long spines. 

 Abdomen yellowish brown, the sutures rather broadly brown, and the upper surface of 

 the last three segments black, the sides yellowish brown ; anal appendages destroyed ; 

 the two basal segments of the abdomen are clothed beneath (like much of the thorax 

 and especially the pectus) with long grey hairs. Wings clear hyaline, with brown 

 nervures ; fore wings with 11-] 2 antenodal and 10 postnodal nervures ; pterostigma 

 rather short, yellow, between slender black nervures ; triangle rather large, crossed by 

 one nervure, and followed by four rows of cells ; hind wings with a dark brown basal 

 patch, extending as far as the first antenodal nervure and the base of the triangle, 

 occupying the first two subnodal cells, and extending below the lower subnodal sector 

 for three more cells, and then rounded off, terminating at about three fourths of the 

 length of the inner margin. Membranule white, just beyond the membranule is a 

 large hyaline space, running half across the brown patch, the four cells below the 

 lower basal cell are marked with large oval subhyaline spots, and there are pale spots 

 in some of the other dark cells.

Possibly the female of T. stylata, Eamb., to which it is closely allied.

Long. Corp. 49 millim. ; exp. al. 80 miUim.; long. pter. 3 millim. 



Testaceous yellow. Head yellow ; labrum darker, with the extremity blackish. 

 Thorax testaceous ; the pleura spotted with black on the sutures. Front legs reddish, 

 striped with black ; the four hinder legs blackish, except at the base of the femora. 

 Abdomen testaceous above and more or less blackish below, the sutures broadly black 

 on the sides above, more narrowly on the median line, the last three segments entirely 

 black in the middle above, testaceous at the base on the sides : upper anal appendages 

 reddish, a little shorter than the last three segments, depressed at the base, and then 

 straight ; lower appendage short, not much more than one third of the length of the 

 upper ones; appendages of the second segment rather prominent; hamulus long, 

 slender, with a small tooth near the extremity. Wings hyaline, the nervures reddish, 

 or yellowish in male, brown in female ; fore wings vnth 11-14 antenodal and 8-10 

 postnodal nervures ; triangle rather narrow, oblique, crossed by one nervure, and 

 followed by four rows of cells ; hind wings with the membranule white, the rest of the 

 base of the hind wing yellow to the second antenodal nervure, as far as the triangle, 

 and along the course of its lower sector and the subbasal sectors, thence curving 

 round to about three fourths of the length of the inner margin of the wing, and thus 

 not extending to the anal angle ; more or less of the lower basal cell and part of the
