This group of Neuropteroid insects has received very little 

 attention from entomologists, mainly due, no doubt, to the 

 fact that they do not make themselves conspicuous and are of 

 relatively little economic importance. The number of species 

 to be found in any one locality seems to be small, though not 

 so small as the ordinary collector might at first suppose. At 

 Raleigh we have seven species recorded, while Mr. Manee has 

 thus far located four at Southern Pines. Our complete list 

 for the entire State includes fifteen species. 



Our limited records to present indicate that the species are, 

 at least in the majority of cases, single-brooded, a given species 

 occurring only at a certain season for one, two, or three con- 

 secutive months. The exceptions to this are Panorpa ruficens,
