From Canon del Tolima, Colombia, 1,700 meters, Novem- 

 ber (Fassl). It is the most handsome species of the genus 

 known to me. 



Chrysopa albopalpis, new species. 



Pale yellowish or greenish, a reddish mark on each cheek; palpi pale; 

 antennas pale, unmarked, not very long, a red mark each side on ver- 

 tex near eyes; pronotum with a dark spot at outer anterior corner, 

 about as long as broad, narrowed in front. Wings hyaline, venation 

 greenish, many of the cross-veins and branches with small brown 

 clouds, as in Ch. nigripalpis, also on the gradate veinlets of hind 

 wings; the costals in fore wings black at each end, and some gradate 

 veinlets, particularly of the outer series, dark. Wings moderately 

 broad, acute at tips; the second cubital cell a little shorter than the 

 third, divisory veinlet curved, ending a little beyond the cross-vein; 

 five cross-veins between radial sector and median in fore wing, four in 

 hind wing, seven branches beyond in both pairs; six or seven gradate 

 veinlets in inner and eight or nine in the outer series; in hind wings 

 the radial sector unites with median for nearly one cell-length. 



Expanse, 26 to 28 mm. 



From San Antonio, February, and Carmen, 1,600 meters, 

 November, Colombia. 



Chrysopa caucana, new species. 



Pale yellowish or greenish; a faint reddish mark under each eye, an- 

 tennae (except first and second joints) black, paler towards tip; pro- 

 notum a little longer than broad, hardly narrowed in front, a red stripe 

 each side near margin; wings hyaline, venation green, the costal cross- 

 veins wholly black, the gradate series black, and the cross-veins con- 

 necting radial sector to radius black in the middle; in the hind wings 

 the venation is all greenish; stigma barely distinct. Wings not very 

 long, hardly acute at tips; second cubital cell as long as the third, di- 

 visory veinlet ends much beyond the cross-vein; five cross-veins from 

 radial sector to median in fore wing, about seven branches of radial 

 sector beyond; about six veinlets in inner gradate series and seven to 

 nine in outer series; in hind wings the radial sector unites to median 

 for a cell-length. 



Expanse, 33 mm. 



From Inmba.Cauca, Colombia, 1,000 meters January (Fassl). 



Chrysopa nigripalpis, nc\v species. 



Yellowish or greenish, a bright red mark on each cheek, and vertex 

 with spot near eyes; palpi jet black; basal joint of antennae with red 

 line outside; rest of body and legs unmarked. Antennae very long, 

 basal joint large; pronotum about as broad as long. Wings hyaline; 

 venation greenish, the gradate veinlets margined with faint brown 

 clouds, and many other cross-veins and branches with brown cloud at
