566 THE NEUEOPTEEA ODONATA OF CETLOK. 



Legs yellow, lined with black, and set with rather long liairs. 



Wings clear hyaline ; pterostigma blackish, about twice as long 

 as broad, covering two cells ; 9-12 postnodal cross-nervures. 



Female very similar, but yellowish where the male is pulve- 

 rulent ; anal appendages as long as the 10th segment, yellowish. 

 Immature specimens are almost entirely yellowish, with only the 

 outline of the tripartite bands, &c., indicated, and the ptero- 

 stigma yellowish.

Allied to Xi. prcsmorsa (Philippines) and L. quercifolia, De 

 Selys (Menado and Sulu), but apparently distinct. 



It is to be regretted that Col. Terbury obtained no specimens 

 of the second section of Lestes, with narrow pointed triangles, 

 of which several imperfectly-known species occur in Ceylon.
