Neuroptera and Mecoptera

P. ESBBN-PETERSBN.

Communicated May 8*^ 1918 by Chr. Aurivillius and Y. Sjöstedt. 



It has given me great pleasure to work out the material 

 from the expeditions of Dr. E. Mjöberg. The Australian 

 Neuropterous fauna contains so many archaic and peculiar 

 forms, that their study will always bring an enrichment of 

 knowledge. 



My best thanks are due to Prof. Dr. Yngve Sjöstedt 

 and Dr. E. Mjöberg for the opportunity of looking throngh 

 the interesting material, but I am further very much indebted 

 to Prof. L. Kruger, Stettin, and I wish to bring him my 

 best thanks here. His publications concerning systematical 

 Neuropterology have opened my eyes for the true and cor- 

 rect apprehension of the nervature of the wings in the 

 Neuroptera, and his accurate and careful method of working 

 has been exceedingly impulsive to me.
