IQQ descriptive catalogue. 



one at each side of the base of the tail, an oblong spot of the same colour marking the anal 

 appendage, all these being adorned individually, at their internal edge, by a delicate streak of 

 greenish silvery irrorations. Body black above covered with a white down underneath : antenna, 

 black with a ferruginous tip, sprinkled with a beautiful snow-white powder underneath to the base 

 of the club, gradually increasing in intensity of tint exteriorly. Tails uniformly bright orange, 

 with a medial nerve of the same colour and a delicate fringe at the sides and tip of a paler tint. 



This remarkable species affords the type of a peculiar subdivision. It has a single tail of excessive length, 

 while the anal appendage is narrow and linear. In these particulars as well as in the outline of the wings it 

 approaches the individuals of the first subgenus, the true Theclce ; the club of its antennae is also slightly 

 attenuated at the extremities, but in its markings it greatly resembles the species arranged in the third 

 subdivision of Amblypodia, particularly Apidanus and Eumolphus. Some uncertainty therefore remains as 

 to its true situation in the series and many intermediate forms are wanting to complete a regular succession 

 of affinities.
