NEUROPTEROID INSECTS FROM SZECHWAjST — BANKS 201 



to base is a broad brown streak, and most of anal area brown; in 

 these dark areas there are streaks or spots of black hair, three such 

 along hind margin of radius, the first at origin of radial sector, a 

 long one over base of posterior side of fork two; on the pale areas 

 of membrane there is very short golden hair. 



Hind wings faintly yellowish, the stigma more plainly so, all 

 clothed with fine yellow hairs, and the fringe also yellowish. 



In forewings fork one is plainly a little before fork two, in hind 

 wings scarcely before, fork three in forewing has a long pedicel, 

 nearly one-half as long as the fork. 



Male genitalia on the plan of H. japonica Morton, the lower ap- 

 pendages very large, and with a curved pointed process below, which, 

 seen from above, has its tip toothed. From above the superior plate 

 is broad at base, tapering to the tip, but with rounded sides, plainly 

 indented near middle, and each side is a long slightly curved prong, 

 not curved and sinuate as in Morton's figure 5 of H. japonica. 



Forewings 17 mm. long; 5 mm. wide. 



Male from Yim Na San, Kwantung, June 14 (Gressitt) (holo- 

 type) ; a female, forewing 22 mm. long, from Chengtu, Szechwan 

 (Graham) . Holotype in M.C.Z. Allotype, U.S.N.M. No. 53159. 



This is the species that Ulmer treats in his "Fauna Sinica" as 

 Rhyacophila japonica; the inferior appendages are very sunilar, but 

 the superior parts are very different from Morton's figure and 

 description of the type. 



HiMALOPHANES, new subgenus 

 This I treat as a subgenus of Himalo psyche, with which it agrees 

 in general structure, including the hairs on metascutellum : the 

 female, however, has a true ovipositor, so different from the others, 

 and so much like certain Locustidae, that I think it should be sepa- 

 rated at least subgenerically. What I consider the male has the 

 genitalia rather different from the style of the others, the upper 

 parts being extended caudally. 



HIMALOPSYCHE (HIMALOPHANES) ANOMALA, new species 



Plate 30, Figuees 56, 60 



Head pale dull rufous, with white hair, but black on posterior 

 warts; palpi and antennae pale, latter on upper surface somewhat 

 embrowned. Thorax dull rufous, darker on sides of mesonotimi, 

 bristles from the strips pale, those over wing base black; abdomen 

 dull black above, tip and venter paler. Legs pale, front and middle 

 tibiae above with dark mark at base, beyond middle, and at tip, tips 

 of these tarsal joints dark. Forewings densely irrorate with brown 

 spots, mostly near front and hind margins and along the veins, be- 

 tween veins spots small or faint, several of the larger brown marks
