between the upper part of the appendages when the abdomen is 

 viewed directly from above. The lower distal angle of each of 

 these processes ends in a small projecting point. Branches of 

 lower appendage black, stout, curved a little upwards and out- 

 wards, with rounded apices. 



Female. Colouring in general very similar to that of the male. 

 The third abdominal segment has a longitudinal lateral band 

 of colour, and each of the segments 4-7 has a small lateral basal 

 spot on either side. As in the male the upper anal appendages 

 are white. 



Length of abdomen of o» 31-5 mm., hinder-wing 30 mm. ; 

 length of abdomen of S 34 mm., of hinder-wing 31*5 mm. 



The venation of this species is in general very similar to that 

 of its congener A. occipitalis. Neither of the two specimens be- 

 fore me, however, have the additional cross-nerve in the cubital 

 space of the fore-wing. Though one cannot assert with any degree 

 of certainty that the presence or absence of this additional vein can 

 be used to distinguish the two species, what evidence exists points 

 in this direction. I have accordingly omitted the presence of an 

 additional nerve in this area from the generic characters. 



Genus Temnogomphus,' no v. 



Genotype : T. bivittatus (Selys). 

 Species examined : T. bivittatus (Selys) 9 . 

 A genus containing a single species of moderate size. It is 

 characterized by the possession of a basal anteuodal nervure of the 



"2nd series, and by the colour-line on 

 the costal nerve which separate it from 

 the closely allied Anisogomphus. From 

 Cyclogomphus it differs in the relatively 

 short pterostigma, and in having the 

 K10. i 5 .-Occiput of Temuo- ■ - f the hinder-wing not elong- 



9 , outline. ated. It is also larger than in the 



species of Cyclogomphus. 



The occiput in the female is reduced to a marginal line. The 

 hindermost femora when adpressed reach to the end of the first 

 segment of the abdomen. The armature consists of relatively 

 long spines, much as in t Anisogomphus.

The species is readily identified by the yellow face with two 

 black bands running across it. The lower of these is the " ante- 

 clypeus " the upper a black band across the lower part of the irons. 

 The occiput in the female is reduced to a narrow yellow margin 

 between the eyes, fringed with long yellow hairs. The prothorax 

 has its anterior and posterior margins yellow. On the syntho-
