eruca pomonae in Indiana. He writes: "In looking over a 

 miscellaneous collection of unplaced Coleoptera, which I have 

 recently mounted, I find a specimen of Galeruca pomonae 

 in the collection, taken in Laporte County, Indiana, on August 



26, 1904."

A new genus and a new species of Neuroptera. 



BY NATHAN BANKS. 



Our two small species of Acanthaclisis have long been recog- 

 nized as not true members of that genus ; I therefore propose a 

 new genus as follows : 



Paranthaclisis n. gen. 



I establish this genus for Acanthaclisis congener Hagen and 

 A. hageni Banks. It is readily known from Acanthaclisis by 

 the fact that in the hind wings the anal vein runs into the mar- 

 gin of wing and is connected to the first branch of the cubitus 

 by a cross-vein (in Acanthaclisis the anal runs into the first 

 branch of the cubitus). The radial sector is connected to radius 

 by only 10 or 12 cross veins (in Acanthaclisis, 20 or 30) ; in both 

 wings the branches of the cubitus, instead of running directly 

 to the margin, are bent outward, so as to give the appearance 

 of a vein parallel to hind margin. The outer spur of each tibia 

 is bent at a right angle near its middle. 



Ululodes arizonensis n. sp. 



Closely allied to U. albifrons Banks, having annulate antennae, white 

 hair on face, etc. It differs (i) in larger size, expanse 60 mm. 

 (albifrons about 50 mm. or less) ; (2) in more brown hair near base 

 of antennae; (3) in having the base of antennal club and several joints 

 before it wholly pale yellowish ; (4) in that the last dorsal segment of 

 abdomen is pale and has an isolated black spot each side near tip 

 (in albifrons is a black stripe each side) ; (5) in that the forewings 

 are scarcely emarginate at end of median vein (in albifrons this emargin- 

 ation is very distinct) ; (6) in that the superior appendages of the c? 

 are more geniculate at base, and more bent downward and inward, 

 so that, seen from the side, the tip of the abdomen shows an even 

 curve (in albifrons these pieces project more outward). 



Four specimens from Palmerlee, Arizona (Biederman 1 ). The 

 female shows four spots on each hind wing; one large, on hind 

 margin toward base ; one just behind the pterostigma, one on 

 hind margin behind the last, and another somewhat basad of the 

 latter.
