NORTH AMERICAN NEUROPTERA. 315 



gitudinal veins mostly green, base of first sector and base of cubitus black ; the 

 costals, the first series of transversals, the gradate veinlets, and the branches of 

 the anal vein, black ; a few of the other veinlets have their ends black ; in hind 

 .wings the veins, except costals, are mostly greenish. 



One specimen, I't. Collins, Colorado (C. P. Gillette). 



Xotlio<thrysa vii'j^iiiica Fitch. 



Chrysopa virginiea Fitch, i, N. Y. Rept. p. 91. 

 Nothochrysa phmitasma MacGillivray, Can. Ent. 1894, p. 170. 

 Fitch's sjiecies is certainly a Nothochrym, and specimens of Mr. 

 MacGillivray's species (which he kindly sent nie), agree with Fitch's 

 description in detail. 



C"<niioptei'yx fit<*Iii nov. sp. — Length 2.5 mm. Head yellowish, antennae 

 brownish with wliite hair. Thorax yellowish, with four round black spots above. 

 Legs pale yellowish. Abdomen yellowish, more reddish below; wings gray; 

 venation as in C. vicma, except that the forks of tlie second sector are plainly 

 longer than the pedicel (in C. vicina shorter than pedicel), the upper fork is curved 

 toward the costa near tip, the vein that connects the first and second fork is 

 almost obsolete (distinct in C. ricina), and there is no connecting vein between the 

 cubitus and post-cubitus (distinct in C. vicina). Eyes globose, wings not ciliated. 



One specimen, Ft. Collins, Colorado (C. P. Gillette). 



Panorpa canadensis nov. sp. — Length 11 mm. Reddish, antennae 

 black, black around ocelli. Ijcgs and abdomen pale yellowish. Wings hyaline ; 

 an apical band, broken up on posterior side ; a slender, geniculate, pterostigmatical 

 band ; a costal middle spot ; two spots of a basal band, and a very small basal 

 spot dark brown ; wings a little more slender than in P. dehilis, subcosta extending 

 to pterostigma. Abdomen short; second segment not produced behind; fifth 

 segment of male cylindrical, with a stout projection above; sixth and seventh 

 subequal, sixth with base slender, quite suddenly swollen above and below, sev- 

 enth gradually enlarging, but not as large as the sixth ; eighth short, forceps 

 short, stout, appendages short, not reaching to base of claws. 



One male and one female, Sherbrooke, Canada (P. A. Begin). 

 Differs from P. debills in smaller size, shorter forceps and appen- 

 dages, as well as markings. 



Panorpa affinis nov. sp. — Length 12 mm. Fulvous, abdomen luteous; 

 wings hyaline, veins fuscous, a slender apical band, an interrupted pterostigmatical 

 one, a middle spot on costa, an interrupted basal band and a basal spot, brown : 

 subcosta runs into costa at middle in the fore wing; the radius does not curve 

 inwardly as much at the pterostigma as in P. nebulosa, and the wing is less slender 

 than in that species. Abdomen short, second segment not produced behind ; fifth 

 segment tapering, no projection above; sixth and seventh subequal, sixth ob- 

 conical, curved at base, more swollen above than in P. nebidosa, seventh more 

 regularly conical and not so large ; eighth short and broad ; forceps stout, appen- 

 dages reaching to base of claws. 



One male, Sea Cliff, N. Y. Differs from P. tiebulom in shorter, 

 stonter form, more spotted v/ings, etc. 



The species of Panorpa known to me from the United States and 

 Canada may be separated by the following table. No species of the 

 genus have been recorded from west of the Rocky Mountains.
