252 AMERICAN NEUROPTERA. 



Gaylord, Michigan, July (R. H. Pettit). This bears much re- 

 semblance to what I consider P. venosa, but the projection on tip of 

 fifth segment is smaller, and the sixth segment is more constricted, 

 besides the genitalia are not so much elevated in the middle when 

 seen from the side. 



TRICHOI»TKRA. 



Agrypnetes rurvata n. sp. 



Pale yellowish, clothed with short yellowish hair, veins at and near anastomo- 

 sis darker, abdomen brown above ; head large, three large ocelli ; antennae short 

 and stout, well separated at base ; prothorax with two warts above ; legs very 

 stout, spurs very short, 2-4-4; the joints two to four of anterior tarsus very 

 short, practically no spines, on hind legs, however, there are extremely minute 

 ones on the tarsi ; anterior tarsi do not show any fringe of hair ; wings very nar- 

 row, the costal margin concave, the posterior margin convex ; venation almost 

 the same as the European species (A. crassicornis), the discal cell is a trifle longer, 

 and the posterior anastomosis rather more oblique, the anal venation is exactly 

 the same, surface of wing nearly bare. 



Length 11 mm. 



St. Anthony Park, Minnesota (Pettit). When the wings are 

 closed the insect in side view is highest at middle and curves down 

 each way. I place this in Agrypnetes on account of the close cor- 

 respondence in venation, in absence of spines on legs, in structure 

 of legs, in size and color ; but the spurs are plainly 2-4-4. 



LEI'TOPHVLAX n. gen. 

 Spurs 1-3-4. Basal joint of antenna nearly as long as broad, 

 antennae rather short and stout; prothorax well developed, flat 

 above as well as the vertex of head, both traversed by a median 

 furrow. Wings very slender, acute at tips, discal cell nearly twice 

 as long as its pedicel, first apical cell some distance on discal cell, 

 fifth apical short pedicellate; hind wings slender, emarginate as in 

 Colpotaulim, fifth apical cell long pedicellate, first some distance on 

 discal cell. 



Leptophylax gracilis n. sp. 



Head yellowish; a median black line on vertex, which is flat, clothed with 

 long erect yellowish hairs, prothorax flat above, about twice as broad as long, sur- 

 face tuberculate, a median black line, clothed with erect yellowisb hair; antennae 

 yellowish, apex more reddish, basal joints long, well separated ; legs pale yellow- 

 ish, with black spines, none on anterior face of fore tibiae, hind femora plainly 

 shorter and stouter than middle femora, bind tibiae curved. Wings over four 

 times as long as broad, broadest beyond anastomosis, pale yellowish hyaline, not 

 rugulose, veins brown, a brown streak through many of the cells sometimes
