275 



nigro ; pterostigmate lacteo : postica) fere aequaliter tricoloratae, 

 nitida;, ad basin nigro-fuscai, in medio lacteaj, pallide venatae ; ad 

 apicem omnium fuliginosae, nigro-venatae j pterostigmate fusco ( S ) . 

 Long. corp. 9"'; exp. alar, antic. 18"'. 

 Hah. Syria (Huleh, Lowne). 



Of the group of A. lacteus, Brulle, but very distinct from any 

 described species ; the uniformly fuliginous apical third of the 

 posterior wings is especially characteristic ; this colour is some- 

 what irregular within, and is carried as a narrow and gra- 

 dually diminishing line some little distance along the inner 

 margin. 



INDEX TO SPECIES. 



The names in italics indicate synonyms : the other names are 

 those that I consider should be applied to the species ; but some 

 of these it is not possible to identify, and they are merely cited 

 as guides to future workers. 



N.B. The names of the species of the genus Ascalaphus (sensu 

 stricto), and their synonyms, are not included in this index 

 (cf. ante, p. 273). Neither is any notice taken of the numerous 

 Catalogue and Museum names cited by Hagen (* Hemer. Synop. 

 Synonymica '), it being considered that the perpetuation of such 

 names is not only useless, but also pernicious.
