Chrysopa ramburii, Schneider. 



This is the typical form of this extensive genus. It is found 

 in tlie neighbourhood of Sydney, and, from an economic point of 

 view, is one of our most useful insect friends, for wherever mealy 

 bugs and other soft-bodied scale-insects appear in any quantity, 

 the active little larvaj of the Chrysopa follow them up, covering 

 themselves with bits of dirt and the remains of their food, so that 

 they might easily be mistaken for mealy bugs were it not for 

 their projecting jaws, long legs, and active habits. When full- 

 grown they form the usual, rounded, parchment-like pupa-cases, 

 which are attached to branches among the living mealy bugs. 



The perfect insects are of a delicate green tint, with bright 

 golden-tinted eyes, and delicate gauze-like wings. The}'- often fly 

 to light on summer nights, and if they alight upon the table 

 produce a most disagreeable smell.
