 crossvein beyond origin of radial sector, but before 

 its fork. 1 A joins the hind margin opposite to or 

 a little before fork of radial sector. Upper appen- 

 dages of 5' seen from side, twice as long as broad; 

 the upper margin somewhat emarginated and the

This species has hitherto been overlooked on 

 account of its great likeness to H. australis, from 

 which it may be separated by the shape of appen- 

 dages of 5 ^^^ by the colour of abdominal seg- 

 ments. In H. ausiralis the hind border of 2nd 

 5th segments of male narrowly blackish above ; 6th 

 and 7th quite black above ; 8th and 9th reddish 

 brown. In 9 ^he hind border of 2nd -4th segments 

 narrowly blackish above, 5th to 7th and front part 

 of 8th totally black above, apical part of 8th and 

 whole 9th reddish brown above. Upper appendage 

 of male, seen from side, trice as long as broad, the
