1 8. Since he gave a much more nearly complete figure of specimen 
17-17, I am designating it as the lectotype specimen. Handlirsch 
(1906) established the genus *. Homaloncurina for bonnieri without 
giving any reasons; Lameere (1917) was undoubtedly right in 
synonymizing this genus with Homaloneura , bonnieri being very close 
to the type species of the genus. 
The type specimen 17-17 shows four rather damaged wings, but 
I found that the right fore wing could be fully restored by additional 
preparation and the use of glycerin. Specimen 17-18, which had been 
badly damaged, I was able to work out much more completely after 
removal of all the pieces of matrix. Reconstructions of bonnieri have 
been attempted twice — by Brongniart (1893, p. 323, text-fig. 12) 
and by Handlirsch (1921, p. 135, fig. 63). In both reconstructions, 
not one restored morphological feature is correctly shown. 
Specimen 17-18 differs from the type specimen 17-17 in having 
much larger eyes and in the more convex apical part of the anterior 
margin of the fore wing, as well as in the more extensively branched 
MA. Nevertheless, I prefer to consider this to be bonnieri because 
the large eyes could be due to peculiarities of preservation or to 
difference in sex, and the other differences mentioned could be due 
to individual variability. The following account is based upon the 
type specimen only (17-17). 
Wings equal in length, the hind pair slightly broadened basally. 
Wing membrane very thin; dark stripes following costa, subcosta, 
and supporting structures. Cuticular thickening V-shaped. Dark 
band extending from cuticular thickening obliquely to R. Fore wing: 
length 43 mm, width 12 mm. Anterior and posterior margins almost 
parallel. Apex rounded, directed slightly backwards; Rs with about 
six branches, MA with 2-3 branches, MP forking about five times, 
CuA with about four branches, CuP with one or more short branches; 
about eight anal veins, often forked. Cross veins few, slightly ir- 
regular. Hind wing: length 43 mm, width 15 mm. 
Body structures: Head broad and short, eyes relatively small. 
Clypeus not known. Antennae about 15 mm long, composed of equal, 
long, cylindrical segments. Prothoracic lobes: about 7 mm long, 
with slightly undulated margin, veins about ten in number, cross 
veins very dense. Mesothorax about as long as metathorax. 
Specimen 17-18 shows some additional body structures, which, 
for reasons mentioned above, I did not include into the account of 
this species. Fore wing: length 40.5 mm, width 11 mm; hind wing: 
length 41 mm, width 14.5 mm. Venation of prothoracic lobes and 
the wings as in bonnieri , except that MA in the fore wing has longer
