broad. Postnodal crossveins: fore wings, 19-18; bind 
wings, 15-15. 
Abdomen . — Brown with metallic green reflections, 
blackening towards the terminal segments. Genital 
valves deeply serrate with the serrations recurved and in- 
creasing in size posteriorly. Ovipositor small and com- 
pletely hidden by the valves. 
Holotype male, allotype female, 1 broken teneral male 
and 1 female paratypes, vicinity of La Visite, Laselle 
Mts., Haiti, 4,000 ft. (Marston Bates). Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology, No. 27733. 
Not included in the type series is another male from 
the neighboring La Hotte range of Southern Haiti. This 
specimen has several differences from the Laselle speci- 
mens ; however, the penis of the La Hotte specimen was 
badly damaged and in the portions remaining no differ- 
ences were detected between it and the holotype. The 
observed variance between the other features is as fol- 
lows : 
Holotype 
Length — 69 mm. 
Pore wing 33 mm. long 
Hind wing 38 mm. long. 
Postnodal 
Fore wing 18-1 
Hind wing 16-16 
La Hotte male 
Length — 58 mm. 
Fore wing 36 mm. long 
Hind wing 34 mm. long. 
rossveins 
Fore wing 19-18 
Hind wing 14-14 
The thoracic and abdominal markings are similar, but 
the metallic green is more pronounced in the La Hotte 
specimen, and the brown colors on the thorax of the holo- 
type become metallic bronze on the La Hotte male. The 
abdominal appendages are similar except for a small 
knob on the dorso-interior surface which appears only 
in the La Hotte specimen. 
The poor condition of the La Hotte specimen and the 
small amount of available material make it impossible to 
say whether this La Hotte male represents another spe- 
cies of the new genus or only the normal variation for a 
species living in highly isolated areas.
