784 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN NEUROPTERA, vi., 



once distinguished by the lack of a true anastomosis between Sc 

 and R. The Berothidcv. are clearly a specialisation from the 

 older Trichomatidce, the Osmylidce from a type resembling the 

 still existing PoJystcechofes, which, to my mind, will go well 

 enough into the BerotJiidcF as at present defined. It should be 

 noted that both palseontological and morphological evidence 

 tends to show that the groups with numerous cross-veins in the 

 disc are of more recent origin than those without; it is only by 

 stressing this point that we can be sure of obtaining a correct 

 view of the Phylogeny of the Planipennia, which are an essential 

 portion of the Panorpoid Complex, and originated from more 

 open- veined ancestors.
