yellow spot on the lower part of the sides, above the appendages, which are not 

 conspicuous, segment 3 with a pale band, broader on the back, in front of the carina, 

 and a large oval spot on the back behind, segment 4 with a similar band before the 

 carina, the upper part behind it entirely pale, except a black spot on each side behind 

 the carina, segments 5 and 6 are pale above, but there is a black longitudinal spot on 

 the suture of the 4th and 5th segments, towards the end of segment 5 a black stripe 

 commences, and gradually broadens till it covers the whole extremity of segment 6 ; 

 the remaining segments are entirely black, as well as the under surface below the 

 lateral carinse, except for the spots on the two first segments, the basal bands on the 

 3rd and 4th, and a large spot on each side of the 5th and 6th : anal appendages 

 slender, pointed, as long as the ninth segment, black, yellow above, except at the tips ; 

 lower appendage rather shorter than the others, black, raised at the tip. Legs black, 

 slender ; tibia? with double rows of slender spines. Wings clear hyaline, the extreme 

 base of the hind wings smoky brown ; pterostigma yellow, between black nervures; 

 fore wings with 9 antenodal and 8 postnodal nervures, the last antenodal and the first 

 two postnodals not continuous ; triangle moderate, open, followed by two rows of 

 cells ; lower subtriangular space consisting of three cells (one in all the other species, 

 except the typical A. ascalaphoides, in which it is divided by a curved line as in 

 Diplacina).
