una angusta pone medium, altera lata apicalis, maculisque ante fasciam 

 primam nigro-fuscis. Abdomen gracile ; c? segmentorum l'-4' mar- 

 ginibus lateralibus vix alatis ; 2" supra in medio paulo producto ; 6° 

 cylindrico, elongato, truncate ; 7° quam 6™ longiore, graciliore, oblique 

 truncato ; 8° elongato-conico, forcipe elongata, intus ad basin fim- 

 briata ; appendicibus lineaiibus, parvis. 5 prothorace pectoreque 

 rufis. Long. corp. S 9'", $ 6'"; exp. alar. cS 1" 3'", $ 1" 1'". 

 c? . The whole of the body excepting the rostrum, pitchy-brown ; 

 rostrum reddish. Legs reddish fuscous ; claws with three teeth in- 

 ternally below the apex. Wings hyaline, with a decided testaceous 

 tinge; with two blackish fuscous fasciae, — one narrow, beyond the 

 middle ; the other broad, occupying the apex j before the first fascia 

 are one or two detached fuscous spots (sometimes absent) ; veins 

 blackish fuscous at the base, somewhat testaceous between the fasciae ; 

 the subcosta joins the costa in the middle. Abdomen slender, mode- 

 rately long ; the first four segments transverse, the lateral mai-gins 

 slightl}' winged ; 2nd segment with its posterior mai-gin slightly pro- 

 duced in the middle above ; 5th subcylindrical, long, truncated ; 6th 

 about the length of the 5th, and thinner, truncated, the lateral 

 margins slightly angular ; 7th longer than the 6th, gradually incras- 

 sated, obliquely truncated ; 8th forming an elongated cone, the forceps 

 very long, and fringed internally at the base ; the appendices are 

 hnear and small. $ differs only in having the prothorax and the 

 whole of the breast reddish ; the legs redder. Abdomen compressed, 

 short. 

 This may be F.japonica, of Klug, ' Abhaudl. Akad. Berlin,' 

 1836 ; but his description w^ould seem to indicate a species iu 

 which the first fascia is broad, and more closely allied to the true 

 japonica of Thunberg.
