MESOZOIC INSECTS OF QUEENSLAND, V., 



Neuropsyche elongata, n.sp. (Text-fig. 26). 



Greatest length of fragment^ 11 mm , representing awing whose 

 total length was about 16-5 mm. Greatest breadth, 4*8 mm. 



The impression is a faint one, but can be made out with very 

 little difficulty in a good light. All the basal part of the wing, 

 together with the extreme distal part, from the apex obliquely 

 downwards to the distal ends of Cu and I A, is missing. In the 

 short distal end of the costal area preserved, no less than four 

 veinlets are visible; so that it is fairly certain that this area was 

 well supplied with veinlets the whole way along. Below the 

 apical end of 8c, two small cross-veins pass downwards to R; but 

 the whole of the true pterostigma is smooth and free of veins. 



Text-fig. 26. 

 Neuropsyche dougata, n.g. el sp., forewing. Upper Trias of Ipswich, Q; 



( x 8). Lettering as usual. 



The pterostigmatic furrow is well marked, between Rj and R a . 

 Other cross- veins present are: — four between Rj and Rs, of 

 which the most basal passes on in a straight line to M ; two 

 between H 3 and R 4 , one closing the radial cell, the other slightly 

 distad from it; one (not well preserved) between R4-1-5 and M 1+2 j 

 one closing the median cell distal ly; two between M and Cu,; 

 and two between Ctij and Cu.,. 



Type, Specimen No. 228a. (Coll. Queensland Geological 

 Survey).
