OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIII, 191 1. 103 



barely acute at tips; second cubital cell rather shorter than the third, 

 the divisory veinlet ending at, or beyond, the cross-vein, but cutting 

 off only a very small cell. Radial sector with six branches to margin; 

 five inner gradate veinlets, six in the outer series, all dark; the inner 

 row as near to the outer as to the radial sector. Hind wings acute at 

 tips; costals, gradates, and a few cross-veins partly dark; radial sec- 

 tor unites to median for less than cell length; four veinlets in inner 

 gradate series, five or six in the outer. Pronotum about as long as 

 broad, slightly narrowed in front. Expanse 20 mm. 

 From Pusa, Bengal, India, October. 



Chrysopa virgestes, new species. 



Pale yellowish or greenish; immaculate. Wings with pale venation, 

 but the gradate veinlets are dark. Fore wings rather slender, acute 

 at tips ; second cubital cell about as long as the third, the latter much 

 broader at apex than at base; divisory veinlet ends beyond the cross- 

 vein. Four inner gradate veinlets, six outer ones; the inner row is 

 rather nearer to the outer row than to the radial sector. Hind wings 

 slender acute; radial sector unites to median for a cell-length; two 

 or three inner gradate veinlets, four or five outer ones. Expanse 20 

 to 22 mm. 



From Pusa, Bengal, India, October 12, 13, November 7, at 

 light. 



Chrysopa madestes, new species. 



Pale yellow or greenish, unmarked. Wings with pale venation, 

 stigma indistinct. Fore wings moderately broad, not acute at tips; 

 hind wings hardly acute. The costal area is moderately broad, but it 

 broadens quite suddenly a little before the stigma and remains of a 

 nearly equal width for some distance; second cubital cell about as 

 long as the third; the divisory veinlet ends beyond the cross-vein; 

 five or six inner gradate veinlets, six or seven in outer series; the 

 inner row is nearer to the radial sector than to the outer row; the two 

 rows are thug quite far apart. In hind wings the radial sector unites 

 with the median for nearly a cell-length; four inner gradate veinlets, 

 five in the outer series. Expanse 21 mm. 



From Pusa, Bengal, India, on sweet potatoes, February 12. 



Chrysopa scelestes, new species. 



Pale yellowish or greenish; cheeks reddish. Wings with pale vena- 

 tion, unmarked. Fore wings slender, barely acute at tips; second 

 cubital cell hardly as long as the third; both very slender; divisory 

 veinlet ends before the cross-vein, or at it; five or six inner gradate 

 veinlets, six in outer row; the inner row is a little nearer to outer 

 row than to the radial sector. Hind wings slender, acute at tips; five 

 or six inner gradate veinlets, and six or seven in outer row; the radial 

 sector unites to the median for nearly a cell-length. Expanse 22 mm.
