An exceedingly large and broad anterior wing may stand as 
Besobrasovia (new genus) latissima. I showed my sketch to Dr. 
Martynov, and he had nothing like it. It is of triangular shape, 
with rounded apex, 72 mm. long, width across middle about 48 
mm., outer margin gently curved, about 58 mm.; costa straight, 
broad costal field (about 6 mm. broad near base) crossed by 
slender oblique veins about 1 . 5 mm. apart, but breaking up along 
the costa into very numerous fine veins; Sc and R running 
parallel about 2 mm. apart, and Rs about 2 mm. below R and 
also parallel with the others, the Rs emitting below eight very

oblique branches before the subapical region, these branches 
about 6.5 mm. apart at points of origin, but from one to the 
other, as thejr run subparallel, is only about 3 mm. In the sub- 
marginal region, about 13 mm. from margin, these branches 
regularly fork, and apically there are very many fine parallel 
veins. The media has at least three branches below. The cubi- 
tus, arising at base of media, forks at about 9 mm. from base of 
wing, and is further subdivided beyond. The anals are obscure. 
The specimen bears the numbers 162, 2903. The venation agrees 
closely with that of Kalligramma hceckeli Walther, from Soln- 
hofen, but the apex is much less rounded, and the fine close 
cross-veins are lacking. There is apparently closer affinity with 
such species as Brongniastiella incondiiissima Hand!., also from 
Solnhofen, but it differs from that genus by the fewer oblique 
nervures below radius, and also in shape. In the Turkestan 
deposits at Kapadac-may, a genuine Kalligramma was found, 
and this has been described by Mrs. Besobrasoff. It is of great 
size, the anterior wing about or nearly 50 mm. broad in middle,
