Wings hyaline. Veins and margins of forewings black. The hyaline patch behind the cell is very large, but 
the margin still covers the spot where veins 7 + 8 divide. Hindwings similar, with yellow costal margin on 
underside. <$ 16 mm. Macerata (Italy). 
S. moupkiicola Strd. The entire body is bronze black with blue gloss. Legs black with a few white mowpini- 
patches. There do not appear to be any coloured belts on abdomen. Wings hyaline. Disco-cellular nervure cola ' 
of forewings is broad and somewhat oblique. The outer margin is parallel to same and straight. The dividing 
point of veins 7 + 8 is still in the hyaline patch. On hindwings only the anterior part of the disco-cellular is 
black. $ 27 mm. Moupin. 
S. martjanovi Shelj. Similar to tipuliformis Cl. and flaviventris Stgr. (Vol. 2, pi. 51 d). The entire body martjanovi. 
black with blue gloss. The 4th and 6th segments of abdomen with yellow belts, that of the latter with white 
edge on underside. Anal tuft yellow in centre on upperside. Legs black-brown, mid and hind tibiae with white 
rings. A 18 mm. East Siberia. 
S. nihonica Bartel (Vol. 2, p. 388, pi. 50 g) is synonymous with Conopia, quercus Mats. Further Mat- 
Sitmura has described a number of Conopia species, which we are here enumerating under Synanthedon, as 
also other species, which were classified under Synanthedon in Vol. 2, have been designated by him as Conopia. 
S. chibensis Mats. Body yellowish brown to dark brown. A few spots and streaks on thorax. The chlbensis. 
edges of all the segments of abdomen are yellow, those of the 4th and 7th being widest. Legs yellow with black 
patches. Wings hyaline. Veins and margins of forewings black. Vein 2 is absent, 7 + 8 stalked. 26 mm. 
Japan. 
S. chosensis Mats. Palpi orange-yellow, black laterally. Head black, tegulae white. Abdomen with chosensis. 
3 narrow yellow belts. Legs black with yellowish white patches. Wings hyaline. Veins and margins of fore¬ 
wing black. Costal margin and disco-cellular nervure widely black, marginal area dusky. 18 mm. Corea. 
S. galloisi Mats. Body black Palpi, patagia, legs, belts of abdomen and underside yellow. Legs with galloisi. 
black patches. Wings hyaline, veins of forewings black. Disco-cellular nervure with orange-yellow outer edge. 
Thence upwards to apex yellow-red scales. Hindwings with yellow-grey costa. 25 mm. Corea. 
S. producta Mats. Similar to hector Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 383, pi. 51 d) differing by the patch at disco-cell- producta. 
ular nervure which in this case forms an arc inwards. The 2nd and 4th segments of abdomen have yellow 
belts, of which the latter is wider and is complete on underside. Palpi and patagia are whitish. $ 20 mm. Hokkaido. 
7. Genus: Dfpsospliecia Spul. 
D. dispar Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 389, pi. 52 a). TVo sub-forms have been described. The genuine dispar in 
the G is somewhat brownish yellow also at outer margin on forewings. Inner margin of hindwings is ye!low- 
ish. The anterior part of the' underside of abdomen has no pale bands. The $ has a blue-black body, fore¬ 
wings and hindwings are dark and without a hyaline patch, forewings slightly paler. These distinctive parti¬ 
culars were not given in the original description, but are mentioned now, so as to stress the differences of the 
two new forms. — oberthihi Le Cerf (16 e) is larger and somewhat paler. The yellow belts on abdomen are oberthuri. 
wider and more regular on upper and undersides; there is also the indication of a belt on underside at base 
of abdomen. Forewings less yellowish before the margin, the entire border is narrower - disco-cellular nervure 
very widely black. On hindwings the inner margin is not dusted with yellow. The $ with blue-black body, 
forewings and hindwings equally dark. Behind the cell, between veins 2 and 4 there are two distinct, narrow 
hyaline patches. 24—30 mm. Bou-Saada, Algeria. A gynandromorph of this form exists in which the left side 
and body are female, the right antennae, wings and legs are male. — dumonti Le Cerf (16 e) has very wide dumonti. 
yellow bands on abdomen, especially those of the 4th to 7th segments, w+ere only a very narrow black divid¬ 
ing line is left. At base of anal tuft there is a yellow triangle on upperside. Forewings as in oberthuri. However 
outwardly of disco-cellular the yellow dusting forms a triangular patch (in one specimen this only occurs on 
the underside). On hindwings veins and disco-cellular are faintly dusted with yellow on upperside, more heavily 
so however on underside. The $ does not vary materially from oberthuri. There are 2 pairs of this form in 
the Pungeler collection, one from Gafsa (Tunis) the $ of which is a typical dispar , the $ on the other hand 
and in contrast to the original description has definitely hyaline hindwings. The 2nd pair from Bou-Saada 
consists of dumonti <$ and oberthuri + According to Hampson dispar should actually be classified in the other¬ 
wise American Genus Euhagena, of which one species nobilis (Vol. 14, p. 523) also occurs in Africa. 
D. hymenopteriformis Bell. (Vol. 2, p. 390, pi. 52 b). The main form of hymenopteriformis has black 
antennae, 3 white belts on abdomen and a more or less pale patch on forewings behind the cell. — The form 
algeriensis Le Cerf (= algirica Le Cerf) has distinct clear hyaline patches in and behind the cell, in also a algeriensis. 
vitreous streak below the cell. — In ducellieri $ Le Cerf (16 f) the white belts of abdomen have additionally ducellieri. 
a wide anterior yellow edge. Also the antennae are considerably dusted with ochreous yellow. Both forms 
emanate from Algeria.
