58 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN NEUROPTERA, ii., 



T li o 1' a X : prothorax yellowish-brown, with a broad , longi- 

 tudinal, median, dorsal, grey-brown stripe, divided down the 

 middle by a fine, pale line. Pterothorax pale straw-colour, with 

 a similar, median, dorsal stripe, and a greyish-hlack mark on 

 each side just above the wing-bases. Legs dull brown; femora 

 with a blackish, apical spot, tibiae with three, black spots, tarsi 

 partly blackish. 



Abdomen rather short, grey-black with dull, brownish 

 markings, in the form of an irregular patch covering most of 

 each segment, on either side of the median line, and isolating a 

 median, longitudinal band of greyish-black, which is divided, as 

 in the thorax, by a fine, pale, median, longitudinal line: sutures 

 o^revish-black. 



W in gs mostly hyaline, well-pointed; venation brownish. R, 

 Rs, and Cui-1-M.j speckled with black. Pterostigma strongly 

 marked as a pale brown area bordered proximally with black; 

 total length about 2 mm., covering some seven veinlets, some of 

 these l)eing branched In forewing, the origin of Rs and of 

 some of the cross-veins from R to Rs strongly blackened: a short, 

 oblique, dark brown mark runs upwards from near end of M, 

 (below level of pterostigma) through five cells, ending just 

 beneath the Banksian line, which is well-marked; a somewhat 

 similar mark overlies the ends of Cu, and A, on the posterior 

 border. In the hindwing, there is an irregular, dark brown 

 blotch below R and Rs, just before pterostigma, a smaller 

 blotch at distal end of hypostigmatic space, and a rather large, 

 irregular splash of dark brown above the posterior border, at 

 the level of the radial brace.

In forewing, Rs arises about one cell distad from level of 

 cubital fork; the oblique vein lies directly under origin of Rs. 

 No Banksian line present. Mj and Cuj+Moin forewing unite 

 before the wing-margin. In forewing, lA is a straight line to
