Calvert: Odonata of the Neotropical Region. 191 



convex and semicircular, apex with no acute recurved tooth, each 

 appendage constricted in its basal third on the lower side, which is 

 then abruptly dilated beyond, showing no tooth in profile view ; but in 

 a supero-internal view an acute not recurved tooth (Selys says " dent 

 arrondie") is visible at mid-length of the inner-lower margin. 



Front wings with 9 postnodals (9-1 1 Selys), hind wings with 8-9. 



9. Unknown to me. Selys describes no prothoracic processes, no 

 dorsal dark markings on abdominal segments 1 and 2, and states of the 

 "valvules vulvaires . . . depassant un peu l'abdomen." (Cf. T. 

 sanguinalis, postea. ) 



Abdomen cT 25.5 (23-26, 9 23-25, Selys) ; hind wing c? 16 (15- 

 17, 9 1 5- 5—18 Selys) mm. 



Habitat: — Brazil, Bahia, 1 <$ ex coll. Winthem. Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Maas. 



Selys' material was from S. Joas del Rey, Santa Cruz, and the 

 Province of Rio. 



96. Telebasis carmesina sp. now 



(Plate V, figs. 100, iocw.) 



d\ Transverse reddish occipital stripe not enlarged into a spot on 

 each side. Labrum bluish-green. 



Middle of the front lobe, posterior part of the middle lobe and the 

 entire hind lobe of the prothorax dark green. Mid-dorsal thoracic 

 carina reddish, the dark metallic-green stripe on each side of the 

 carina three-fifths to three-fourths as wide as the mesepisternum on 

 which it lies, remainder of mesepisterna and mesepimera reddish, 

 metapleura yellowish. 



Superior appendages, in profile view, with the upper margin strongly 

 convex, descending more abruptly and more vertically at the hind end 

 to form an apical margin, which by its junction with the lower margin 

 forms a subacute recurved tooth ; difference in thickness between the 

 proximal third and the remainder of the appendage less than in T. 

 corallina, but with a moderately acute recurved tooth at one-third 

 length on the lower margin, visible in profile as well as in supero- 

 internal view. 



Front wings with ten postnodals (nine on one wing), hind wing 

 with nine (eight in one wing). 



Abdomen 22, hind wing 14-15 mm. 



9 unknown.
