 the tibiae ; in the hind-leg the tibise and tarsi verj long, of equal 

 length. Spurs as long as the fourth tarsal joint. First tarsal 

 joint in the fore- and intermediate-legs about twice the length of 

 the second, in the hind-legs 2| times the length ; second joint 

 about 5 longer than the third, and rather longer than the fourth 

 and fifth joints together ; third joint about |- longer than the

 as the anterior branch of the fork ; branches running almost 

 parallel to one another, a little divergent at the tips ; the pos- 

 terior branch very little arcuated at the base, its tip very little 

 nearer the apex of the wing than the tip of the second longi-
