. The Australian zoologist. Zoology; Zoology; Zoology. TILLYARD AND FRASER. 213 Subfamily Oaliphaeinae Fraser. Wings very narrow, similarly shaped, petiolated nearly to the level of the anal tracheal crossing; discoidal cell very short, slightly curved anterior- wards, traversed by only one or two veinlets; sectors of arculus arising from just below middle of arculus; basal space entire; CuP and IA straight, the area posterior to the latter totally undeveloped and only one row of cells between it and border of wing; the sexes similar; pterostigma present, a short rhomboid. Genera:—Caliphaea Selys. (Oriental.) This genus, one of the most puzzling in the Order, is placed in the Agriidae on account of the fusion of Rii + iii with Ri and the completely developed antenodal complex. It appears to be an Agriid which has under- gone great reduction of the base of the wings, closely paralleling Disparo- cypha of the Chlorocyphidae in this respect. Its larva is unknown but the imago occurs in marshes where it has been seen to oviposit; it is the only species of the Agrioidea, I know of, which breeds in stagnant waters. Suborder 5. Protanisoptera, Carpenter. (Figs. 9 and 10.) Odonata with moderately broad, non-petiolate wings, the hind only slightly broader than the fore-wings; precostal area present, from the apex of which runs a very oblique, brace vein to descend through the subcosta to the radius; antenodals numbering from 4 to 15 or more, the primaries absent (doubtfully present in Polytaxineura Till., Upper Permian, ), secon- daries numbering from 1 to 12 or more, mostly non-coinciding; postnodals.
