and more numerous branches, and that the apical part of the an- 
terior margin is more convex. The cuticular thickening in specimen 
17-18 is very well preserved. It is as prominent as the strongest 
vein, R, at the base of the wing. The surface of the cuticular 
thickening is sculptured by transverse striae. Head: length 3.2 mm, 
width 5.8 mm; eye length 2 mm; clypeal length 3 mm; prothoracic 
lobes length about 7.5 mm. The abdomen is relatively slender, com- 
posed of very unequal segments; segments 1-3 are shorter than the 
following ones, segments 5 and 7 longer than segments 4 and 6. 
Each tergite has a distinct median line. The posterolateral angles 
of the tergites are prolonged. 
Specimen 17-18 is spectacular in having large eyes and clypeus, 
and a slender abdomen. The projecting of the posterolateral angles 
of the tergites was probably much less in the living insects than is 
apparent in the fossil, as a result of the separation of the segments 
during preservation. 
H. honnieri is close to elegans , but differs in the larger dimensions, 
the less narrowed apical part of the wings, with a less pointed apex, 
and in having the denser cross venation of the prothoracic lobes.

This species was based upon two specimens, according to Brong- 
niart, but only one of these was figured. In the Paris Museum col- 
lection I was able to find only the figured specimen, this consisting 
of the obverse of the fore and hind wings. Since Brongniart’s figure 
does not show some parts of the wing margin and of the vein stems, 
which are very helpful for the interpretation of the wings, I have 
prepared a new figure, which also includes some additional struc- 
tures not observed by Brongniart. The following account is based 
upon this one specimen. 
Wings equal in length, the membrane relatively thick and dark- 
colored ; small, rounded spots distributed as shown in Figure 5; 
cuticular thickenings at wing base unknown. Supporting cross veins 
running obliquely from the stem of M to the very base of Rs. Fore 
wing: length 28 mm, width 8.5 mm. Posterior margin mainly 
lacking, but the margin seems to run parallel to the anterior one for 
most of its length; Rs with about five branches, the first of them 
forked; MA with 1-2 branches, MP forked three or four times; 
CuA pectinate, with 4-5 branches, sometimes forked; CuP simple.
