Notes on the True Neuroptera. 



BY J. F. McCLENDON. 



(Plate VIII) 



3. A Catalogue of Texas Ncuroptcni. 



Very few Neuroptera have been recorded from Texas, and 

 I am writing the following list in the hope that it will en- 

 courage others to make a more thorough study of this inter- 

 esting group in that region. Through the kindness of Dr. 

 Samuel Henshaw I was allowed to examine the specimens in the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Dr. L. O. Howard and 

 Mr. R. P. Currie gave me every facility in looking over those 

 in the National Museum. Mr. Nathan Banks, Asst. Ento- 

 mologist, Dept. of Agriculture, let me study his collection, 

 which contains more Texas material than that of any mu- 

 seum I have visited. Most Texas material is scanty and 

 merely labeled 'Texas," and in some cases the genus only 

 could be identified. Where the collector's name was not 

 known I have inserted the name of the owner or donor of the 

 specimens. In many cases I refer to a monograph rather 

 than the original description of a species, and have omitted the 

 author's name where it is included in the name of the species.
