is also a spot of white scales at the junction of the middle and apical thirds, 
and another patch on the upper surface of the extreme apex; the rest of the 
leg is clad with coppery-brown scales. In the mid leg the femur is enlarged 
clad with dark brown scales with a line of bluish-white scales running down 
the lateral surfaces and a patch of similar scales at the apex, beneath, the 
scaling is paler; the rest of the leg resembles the fore leg. In the hind 
eg the femur is clad with dark browm scales and a line of white scales on 
the anterior face and two patches of similar scales towards the apex, 
one being on the apex; tibia with dark brown scales and three bands of 
creamy scales which do not involve the under surface, one near the base 
one about the middle the other at the apex; metatarsus dark brown scaled 
with a central and apical creamy band; two first tarsal joints dark brown 
with apical creamy bands, two last entirely clad with creamy scales. 
Abdomen. Clad with dark purple-brown scales with large patches of 
white scales "varying somewhat; on the first three segments a large central 
dorsal patch at the apex, on the fourth segment the white scales cover the 
w hole dorsum and the apical portion of the lateral and ventral surfaces, 
fifth segment shews a small dorsal patch of white, sixth an apical rin 0- of 
white* scales. 
The male differs in having plumose antennae and unequal simple mid 
ungues. The scaling resembles that of the female. 
Occurrence. Adults taken in the neighbourhood of jungle pools and in 
the quiet pools at the edges of jungle streams the larvae are to be found. 
Remarks .—The most easily recognized of all the species as it is the only 
Uranotaenia with a banded proboscis. 
Uranot^enia Micans. n. sp. 
Thorax light muddy-brown clad with dark brown narrow curved scales 
and lines of long dark brown bristles. A line of bluish-white racquet-shaped 
scales on either margin in front of the wings. Beneath this on either 
pleura is a line of similar scales which commences in a patch of such scales 
abo\ e the hind coxa and passes forwards towards the upper line and crosses 
the prothoracic lobe obliquely upwards and forwards. On the head on 
either side there is a line of similar scales meeting the pleural and joining 
its fellow on the vertex. There are two black spots on the costal margin 
of the wing. The first three or four segments of the abdomen shew apical 
white bands and the tarsal joints of the hind legs are basally banded white. 
The male proboscis is expanded at the apex and very hairy. The male 
antennae are plumose but there is less difference between the antennae of 
the two sexes than is usual. 
Female Head .—Dark grey with a suspicion of brown clad with racquet¬ 
shaped and upright forked scales. On the vertex projecting forwards is a 
tuft of long flat white clavate scales, diverging from this are two lines of 
bluish-white scales which after curving a little outwards run backwards and 
outwards and then backwards and inwards to the lateral margin of the 
occipital foramen. The space enclosed by these two lines is more or less 
flask-shaped the neck of the flask being formed by the tuft of long scales on 
the vertex and is entirely clad with scales which under a hand lens appear 
velvety-black but in a good light olive-brown in front dark cobalt-blue
