Odonata from, New Caledonia. 41 name T. spwipes, agrees well with the liolotype male of /. liUyardi in its thoracic pattern and in having Ciii ending two cells bevond the quadrangle, I am led to associate the Mt.

The agreement in the place and month of capture are also worthy of note. Isosticta spinipes, Selys. 1 ? (allotype), Mt. Koghi, 10. iv. 14 (874) ( ? hitherto unknown). Length of abdomen 32'5 mm. ; hind wing 24*5 mm. This specimen is almost identical in coloration with the Fio-, Isosiicta spinipes, Selys, 9 > allotype, nd margin of protliorax, in dorsal view. Hind m female from Mt, Canala which I have attributed to /, tif/i/- ardi, but the metepisternum is entirely black behind the metastigma, as in the male of the new species, I do not attach any great importance to the length of the meta- stigmatic colour-line, as in one of the females of /. robustiur in the present collection the line terminates at the metn- stigma, while in the other it is prolonged far beyond it. The two females are readily distinguished from one another by structural characters. In what I regard as /. spinipes the hind margin of the prothorax (fig, 4) has a shorter and broader median projection ; the abdomen is slenderer; the ovipositor is shorter, little more than the styles being visible in dorsal view ; the postnodals are more numerous [j^" ^^| ;.
