banks: xew neuropteroid insects. 341 



below. Wings hyaline, usual streak black, venation black, except base of 

 cubital and the axiUaiy vein yeUow. Venation as in Mantispilla, first radial 

 cell with one branch, second with one, and third with two branches. 

 Length 7 mm. 



Similar to very small M. luzoneusis; differs in wholly dark prono- 

 tum, in dark outer side to front femora, and the legs less marked. 



Mantispa decepta, sp. no^-. 



Type. — M. C. Z. 10,775. Phihppines — Mindanao: Surigao; But- 

 uan (C. F. Baker). 



Marks of head similar to M. annulicornis, the face mark rather broader; 

 antennae black, except basal joints pale beneath; pronotum dark in front, 

 pale behind, but outline of the dorsal mark fairly distinct, the dark of the 

 anterior lobe is fainth- divided in the middle, and with a pale spot on each side; 

 meso- and metanotum black on sides, pale through the middle; abdomen pale, 

 with dark marks near tips of the segments, last ventral of male with a median 

 mark only [M. annulicornis male has a basal median dark spot and two 

 smaller apical ones) ; legs pale, anterior coxae lined with brown, femora dark 

 brown on apical two thirds of both sides, tibia mostly brown. Wings hj-aline, 

 usual dark streak faintly indicated, stigma yellowish; venation black, but 

 basal venation and subcosta and radius mostly pale. First radial cell with 

 one branch, second and third with two each; pronotum scarcely wrinkled, 

 minutely hairy above. 



Expanse 17 to 19 mm. 



EucLiMACiA gerstaeckeri, sp. nov. 



Type. — M. C. Z. 10,777. Straits Settlements: Singapore (C. F. 

 Baker). 



Similar to E. morosa of Gerstaecker, but lacks the markings on the bodj-, and 

 the position of the pale in the wing is different. Body black, the last few 

 segments of the abdomen are red, antennae slightly rufous beneath. Thorax 

 as short as in allied forms, the middle part with conical protuberances above. 

 Wings slender, veined as in related forms, fii-st radial ceU with five branches, 

 others with four each, costal area of fore wings with twelve cross-veins. Both 

 wings with anterior half or third colored, mostly dark brown, rest of wings 

 hyaline, extreme tip of wings yellowish, in the fore wings the colored part 

 beyond middle is pale yellow for a short distance, and near the base the dark 

 gives off a branch between the median and cubital veins, not, however, reach- 

 ing the hind margin. 



Expan-se 37 mm.
