The peculiar frons should readily separate this species from 

 any of the few species that are allied to it in wing venation. 



NEW EXOTIC NEUROPTEROID INSECTS. 



BY NATHAN BANKS, Bureau of Entomology. 



Included below are a few miscellaneous descriptions of new ex- 

 otic Neuropteroid insects which I have prepared from time to time 

 while going over parts of my collection. 



EPHEMERID^E. 







Ephemera vedana n. sp. 



Yellowish; pronotum with a dark stripe each side reaching back to above 

 base of wings. On dorsum of abdomen, each segment has a pair of dark lines 

 each side, the upper one the wider, except on the penultimate segment where 

 there is one stripe each side, and a submedian pair within, this submedian 

 pair of lines is often indicated on the other segments; last segment has a 

 round black spot each side at base, and on some of the basal segments is a 

 median dark spot. Venter with dark line each side, and the connection of 

 venter and dorsum dark; setce yellowish, their joinings dark; two dark dots 

 each side on the upper plura. Tibia I dark at ends, femur reddish; basal 

 joint of antennae dark. 



Fore wings hyaline, with a reddish tint along front, deepest in submar- 

 ginal area and in the pterostigmatic area; cross-veins dark, longitudinal 

 veins pale yellowish; hind wings with the cross-venation also dark; no spots 

 on the wings. In several specimens the intercalary in front of the first anal 

 is united to the anal near base. 



The subimago has cloudy wings with dark cross-veins, in some specimens 

 a black dot in the base of the median fork. 



Expanse, 22 mm. 



From Chapra, Bengal, India, February. 



Abdominal marks are similar to those of E. remensa Eaton, but 

 there is no trace of spots on the wings and the costal marks are 

 different from that species. 



Cloeon pulchella n. sp. 



Female: Pale yellowish, abdomen rather darker. Wings hyaline, the 

 costa faintly yellowish; about 25 cross-veins in the wings, and several of 

 these are continuous across longitudinal veins, none near the margin, two 

 or three in the pterostigma, widely separated, none before bulla; two inter- 

 calaries behind median, cubitus, and first anal, the posterior one of those 

 behind median and cubitus is the longer. 

 Male: Thorax brown, basal segment of abdomen brown above, segments two
