NEUROPTERA 51 



(10) Anomalochrysa viridis, sp. no v. 



Green in life, generally fading after drying to yellow, testaceous, or brown. 

 Prothorax usually with more or less distinct brown spots. 



Posterior wings considerably narrower than the anterior pair, pointed at the apex. 

 Pterostigmata olivaceous in mature examples, at least in the %, paler apparently in 

 the t. 



The nervuration although fine is clear and conspicuous in mature examples, but is 

 much darker in some than in others, and is set with very fine hairs, which are evidently 

 easily abraded, being much more numerous in pallid examples which have recently 

 emerged. In the anterior wings, which are moderately broad, but somewhat variable 

 in this respect, four rows of longitudinal cellules are formed by the gradate nervules, of 

 which the two intermediate rows consist of cellules not much higher than wide, and are 

 often more or less confused and incomplete, the nervules, which divide them, failing 

 towards the apex of the wing. One example has three rows only. Posterior wings 

 with three rows. 



The abdomen is clothed with subdecumbent pubescence, the apical dorsal plate in 

 the t, is erect, not very wide, and fringed with dark hairs, which on its ventral (or inner) 

 surface at the extreme base extend across it for some distance on each side. I can 

 detect no sign of the two fine lateral spines which are present in all the preceding 

 species examined, at about the spot where in this species the fringe of hairs is directed 

 transversely, as just mentioned. These internally-placed hairs are however themselves 

 of a spinose nature, and at their apices are beautifully curved inwards. The apical 

 ventral valve is clothed with somewhat long hairs. (Plate III. fig. 4.)

(11) Anomalochrysa soror, sp. nov. 



Closely allied to the preceding, but probably of smaller average size, with narrower 

 wings, and the nervuration, which is green, paler. It may be known at once by the 

 shape of the wings which are almost perfectly rounded at their apices, instead of 

 forming a distinct angle thereat. 



The form and pubescence of the abdomen is much like that of the preceding, the 

 apical dorsal plate is furnished with similar spinose hairs, which are situated along the
