‘SOME NOTES ON ORIENTAL DRAGONFLIES. 227 
Anal angle not acute. Margin between distal end of membran- 
ule and angle slightly concave. Membranule grey-brown. Lobes 
of lower lip yellow, marked with brown medially. 
Upper lip black, with transverse bar of yellow at its base. 
Ante-clypeus black, post-clypeus yellow. Frons metallic violet. 
Synthorax metallic green or violet, humeral stripe extending rather 
more than half-way up the dorsum. Lateral yellow stripe over 
the stigma broad (1. 75 mm.) 
Abdomen, scement 1, basally brown passing gradually to black 
distally, both on the dorsum and at the sides. Second segment 
yellowish-brown as far as the transverse carina, the yellow extends 
beyond this mid-dorsally and mid-laterally almost to the apex of 
the segment. (In this respect the specimen differs both from 
Martin’ s coloured figure and description). 
Segments 3-6 with paired yellowish-brown lunules on the dor- 
sum of each seement, immediately in front of the transverse carina 
progressively smaller from before backwards. (Here the specimen 
resembles Martin’s coloured figure but differs from his description). 
Segment 7 with a basa! yellowish- -brown ring, covering almost tie 
basal third of the segment, prolonged mid-dorsally to a point at 
about the middle of the segment. ‘The eighth segment has a pair 
of basal dorsal lunules. 
In addition the third segment has on either side a small basal 
lateral spot, and the eighth segment has a lateral ventral streak of 
the same colour basally. Abdomen otherwise black. Segments 
2-3 aud 7-8 moderately dilated. | 
Anal appendages black, upper pair straight, apically acumi- 
nate. Each carries an extero-lateral tooth a little beyond its 
middle. Lower appendage sub-equal, with very shg¢ht upward 
curve. Genital lobe of second segment small, pointed, directed 
backwards. Genital hamule, slender, tapering irregularly, nearly 
straight, directed backwards. 
The specimen differs lastly from Martin’s coloured figure of 
fraenata and resembles his description in having the frons entirely 
black, with metallic reflex. 
Length of abdomen 47% mm. + 2.5 mm., of hind- -wing 89 mm. 
Macromia urania Ris 
I possess a single male of this species, from Tonkin, acquired 
many years ago through Dr. F. Forster. 
Jt agrees closely in all respects with Dr. Ris’ account of the 
Type.
