NEUROPTEROID INSECTS FROM SZECHWAN — BANKS 197 



RHYACOPHILA GRAHAMI, new species 



Body brown to black, tip of abdomen yellowish; basal joint of an- 

 tenna dark, beyond pale ; legs mostly pale, but tibiae broadly dark at 

 tips of front and mid pairs, mid and hind tarsi dark. 



Forewings dark brown, with scattered small pale spots, mostly along 

 each side of the veins, some in the costal area, from cubitus to second 

 anal darker; the anal area mostly pale, with some brown spots, espe- 

 cially toward its tip ; there are two large pale areas reaching forward 

 from the anal area almost to the cubitus ; the first one (before middle) is 

 narrow and its apex sometimes a separated spot, the second one (near 

 tip) is much broader and reaches the cubitus in two spots a little 

 before the base of fork five. Hindwings gray, darker in stigmal area. 

 Legs slender, spurs quite long, spurs and weak spines are yellowish. 



In forewing fork one is a little before two, forking of the medius 

 just about opposite that of radial sector, forks three and four both 

 with long pedicel. In hindwing fork one is beyond fork two. The 

 female has a short, tapering ovipositor. 



Length of forewing, 13 mm. ; width, 4.2 mm. 



From Yellow Dragon Temple, Songpan, 12,000 to 14,000 feet. 



The large pale spots Mill readily separate it. Holotype, U.S.N.M. 

 No. 43154. Paratype in M.C.Z. 



HIMALOPSYCHE, new genus 



In nearly all respects like Rhyacophila; it is at once separated 

 therefrom by the presence of a broad wart on the metacutellum. This 

 wart is often more or less plainly divided, and bears long hairs. 

 There is no ventral process to the abdomen, and the wings, both fore 

 and hind, show a stigmal vein, a branch of the radius or of the 

 subcosta and usually connected to both. All are large species, with 

 more or less pointed wings. 



Genotype, Rhyacoj^hila tihetana Martynov. 



It includes also R. carletoni Banks, R. auricidaris Martynov, and 

 doubtless maculipennis, lanceolata, gigantea^ japonica, and all the 

 very large Asian species and the several new species below. 



HIMALOPSYCHE HAGENI, new species 



PiATE 30, Figure 59 



Head dark, some pale hair in front, that on vertex black; palpi 

 dark brown; antennae dark on the basal joint, beyond pale, faintly 

 annulate. Thorax dark brown on the sides above, more reddish 

 through the middle, bristles from the strips pale; abdomen dark 

 above, tips of segments pale, pale beneath. Legs pale, front femora
