NEUROPTERA 41 



(8) Nesomicromus molokaiensis, sp. nov. 



Female, very closely allied to the preceding, the anterior wings much more 

 infuscate, dark brown in colour, with paler markings, the chief of which is a roundish 

 spot near the apex, between the two gradate series. The posterior wings are entirely 

 infumate, except for a pale apical spot on each, corresponding to those on the front 

 wings, their nervuration is chiefly dark, and the nervures do not bear alternate light and 

 dark spots, although some are entirely pale. 



In the anterior wings the radius has 6 sectors. 



Expanse i6'5 mm. 



Hab. Molokai, above 4000 ft.; i ? taken in June, 1893. It is possible that this 

 form may prove to be a variety of the preceding species. 



{9) Nesomicromus 7ninor, sp. nov. 



Female closely allied to N. bellulus, but smaller, the wings much shorter, the 

 anterior pair for the most part infumate, costal area and the upper part of the wing 

 below and along the radius clearer. 



Five sectors to the radius, the sectors themselves, at least towards the base, with 

 alternate dark and light spaces, as also the radius. Posterior wings entirely, but lightly 

 infumate, except for an ill-defined pale spot near the apex. Nervuration for the most 

 part dark, without distinct alternating light and dark spaces. 



Antennae pale, testaceous, the joints infuscate at their apices, the two basal joints 

 brownish. 



Expanse 14 mm. 



Hab. Waianae mountains, Oahu (3000 ft.); i % taken in February, 1896. 



(10) Nesomicromus infumattis, sp. nov. 



Female closely allied to N. belluhis, anterior wings darkly infumate, with only 

 sparse small pale spots, especially along the dorsal margin ; costal area paler than the 

 rest of the wing ; at the base there are some dark markings, and the gradate nervules 

 are distinct, as two zigzag transverse lines, darker than the ground colour. 



The wings are very narrow in proportion to their length. There are 5 or 6 sectors 

 to the radius (5 one side and 6 the other). 



Posterior wings infumate, but transparent, no trace of a paler apical spot, the 

 cubitus posticus very strong, black, except at the extreme base.
