 tlio middle line into a small blunt spine or tubercle. Eyes with a sharp

Organs of flight coloured as in the preceding. In the tegmina the 

 anterior and posterior prongs of the anterior ulnar are 2- and 4-branched 

 respectively and the dividens is anastomosed with the j)ostorior ulnar. 



Legs as in the jn-eceding. Fore tibias with 4-5 spines outside and 

 7-8 inside.

 anterior and posterior lobes are respectively 6 and 20, breadth at supra-

c?. The lateral and siib-mcdian lobes of the vertex are more point- 

 ed than in the preceding and the anterior end of the median lobe is pro- 

 duced upwards into a bifid process. The eyes bear a blunt conical, 

 almost finger-shaped, corneal spine. Antennas greyish whity-brown. 



The organs of flight are almost perfectly pellucid and almost colour- 

 less throughout, only the marginal field of both pairs being slightly opaque 

 and obsoletely mottled with brownish, and the posterior area of the 

 posterior pair presenting faint vestiges of the basal blotch with succeed- 

 ing waves of amethystine fuscous which forms so conspicuous a feature in 

 the female of the typical species. In the tegmina the anterior and 

 posterior prongs of the anterior ulnar are respectively 2- and 5-branched 

 and the dividens is anastomosed with the posterior ulnar.
