214 EXOTIC NEUROPTERA. 



OSMYIiOPS n. gen. 



Differs from Myiodactyhis in the narrow costal area of fore- 

 wings, practically all the costals being simple; more densely 

 veined than in Spilosmylus. There are no ocelli, but a fiat 

 tubercle somewhat resembles one. In hind-wing the cubitus 

 has no long fork running parallel to it, and beyond the end 

 of cubitus are several rows of cells. The tarsi are very 

 short, the first tarsal joint no longer than second or third, 

 the legs very fairly densely haired. 



Type. — Myiodactyhis placidiis Gerst. Includes also Nym- 

 phes sejunchis Walk. 



SPILOSMYLUS Kolbe. 



Type. — Osniyhis africanus Kolbe. 



Lysmjis Navas is a synonym of this genus. 



Spilosmylus triscriatus n. sp. — Pale; vertex rather darker be- 

 hind ; pronotum dark in front ; abdominal segments dark on tips. 

 Wings hyaline ; venation pale, marked with black ; radius and subcosta 

 each with five black streaks and at the sa.ne places are five black lines 

 in the subcostal area (as McLachlan describes for his O. inteiiineattis) ; 

 many costals with dark spot before margin, many cross-veins in basal 

 middle part of wing are wholly dark, fewer near tip ; a dark dot on 

 the yellowish stigma ; on hind margin beyond end of cubitus (in male) 

 is a large flat, rounded, yellowish tubercle, with six black spots on 

 its edge, and the veins across it dark. Venation of hind-wings almost 

 wholly pale, but the outer gradates and some inner cross-veins are 

 dark. Expanse 35 mm. 



Type. — cf . From Herberton, Queensland, Australia, 30th 

 January, 3000 feet (Dodd). 



OSMYLINUS n. gen. 



In general similar to Osmylus, but the empodia are forked ; 

 there are no ocelli, although there are some smooth tuber- 

 cles the costal cross-veins are more numerous than in Osmylus. 



Type. — Osmylus lo7igipennis Walk. 



KEMPYNUS Navas. 

 Venation as in Osmylus, but empodia deeply bilobed, and 

 the outer margin of fore-wings is plainly excised ; the costal 

 cross-veins are very numerous and often forked ; the median 

 vein of fore-wings forks beyond the origin of first branch of 

 the radial sector ; ocelli present.
