 Description of a new Form of TeleplileUa. By Herbeet Campion. 



TeLEPHLEBIA GODEFFROYI TILLYARDI, n. subsp., Ca77ipion. 



Total length 70'5 mm. ; length of abdomen alone 54 mm. , 



Total alar expanse 109 mm. ; length of hind-wing alone 53 mm. 



Length of pterostigma 5' 5 mm. 



Fore-wings with 30-32 antenodals and 27-29 postnodals. 



General colorntion dark brown above, light brown below. Labium dark 

 brown ; lateral lobes black externally. Exposed portions of mandibles 

 black. Face and antennae golden. Frons much produced anteriorly ; 

 a large blackish oval spot on the summit, not wider than the space lying 

 between the antennse. Vertex black ; ocelli garnet. Occipital triangle 

 pale brown. Thorax dark brown above, yellowish-brown at sides ; no 

 humeral stripes. 



Wings hyaline, with a broad band of russet-brown extending along the 

 anterior portion from the base to the apex : between the base and the nodus 

 this band lies below the costal space, and has an irregular outline posteriorly ; 

 at the nodus it widens out to reach the costa, and, after escaping a small 

 hyaline space beyond the prolongation of the subcosta, becomes a well- 

 defined stripe following the margin of the wing to the apex, and exactly 

 filling the two rows of cells lying nearest the costa. Reticulation black. 

 Pterostigma rose-pink : brace-vein oblique, cutting across one or two of 

 the transverse nervures lying between the radius and M^. Membranules 

 broivhish-white. The fork of the radial sector for the most part filled with 

 three rows of cells. Triangle of fore-wing 6-celled ; median space traversed 

 by 7 or 8 nervures. Triangle of hind-wing 5- or 6-celled ; 8 or 9 nervures 

 crossing the median space. Anal loop long, narrow, containing 10 or 

 11 cells ; two other large enclosures between the anal loop and the base of 

 the wing. 



Legs light brown, with a ring of black at the apex of the femur. 



Abdominal segments 1 and 2 inflated : 3 constricted basally : 4 to 7 

 cylindrical : 8 and 9 dilated ventrally : 9 with a pair of two-jointed apical 

 filaments below, the basal joint stout and dark brown, the apical joint 

 shorter, very slender, pale brown ; the filaments separated by a strong 

 median pale brown spine : 10 with the apical margin produced ventrally 

 into a semicircular plate carrying on its border numerous irregular denticu- 

 lations ; prolongation of segment large and hairy. Anal appendages shorter 

 than segment 10, slender, rounded, pointed, blackish. Ovipositor-spine 

 blackish-brown, reaching the level of the middle of segment 10,
