NEUROPTEROID INSECTS FROM SZECHWAN — BANKS 211 



Genus LIMNEPHILUS Leach 



LIMNEPHILUS SUBFUSCUS Ulmer 



One male from near Waslian, Szecliwan, July, 4,000 to 6,000 feet; 

 another without definite locality, July 12-19, 13,000 feet. It does not 

 differ in coloration or genitalia from Japanese specimens. 



Genus NOTHOPSYCHE Banks 



NOTHOPSYCHE RHOMBIFERA Martynov 



One female, apparently belonging to this species, from Chengtu, 

 Szechwan, 1,400 to 4,500 feet. It has femora of front and midlegs 

 pale yellowish, while in the male types the legs are said to be black. 



EVANOPHANES, new genus 



A large, broad-winged limnephilid, in general resembling a large 

 Dicosmoecus^ the venation similar except that fork one goes back 

 much farther on the discal cell ; hind tarsi broken, but, judged from 

 the tibiae, with few if any spines, none on last joint of front tarsi, 

 front tibia with one spur, hind tibia with two spurs, midlegs off. 



Palpi (of female) very much longer than in Dicosnwecus or 

 Astenophylax ; head quite different from both and all other limnephi- 

 lids in that the ocelli are extremely minute, hardly to be seen; the 

 basal joints of antennae are wide apart, and the median ocellus occu- 

 pies hardly one-tenth of the space, the lateral ocelli longer trans- 

 versely ; the face longer than in Dicosmoecus^ no submedian grooves, 

 but the lower pits present, no warts nor bristles on face; the vertex 

 broadly convex, the posterior warts present, transverse, but extremely 

 small, each with a few very short black bristles, no other bristles on 

 vertex; antennae much like Dicosmoecus. Mesothoracic strips also 

 very short and narrow. 



Type, E. insignis, new species. 



Readily distinguished by the very small ocelli, lack of grooves 

 and warts on face, and of bristles on the vertex. Stenophylax mugnus 

 has the ocelli smaller than in many limnephilids, but not comparable 

 to these; moreover there are the usual bristles on face and vertex. 



EVANOPELANES INSIGNIS, new species 

 PLVTE 30, FiGXJKE 71 



Body bright reddish, antennae, palpi, and pronotum black, also a 

 square spot on the mesoscutellum is black, femora pale, rest of legs 

 black. Forewings a uniform brown (darker than in Dicosmecus 

 atripes), a small hyaline spot on the thyridium, membrane evenly 

 clothed with short black hair, veins with longer, erect hairs. Hind- 

 wing paler, but brownish in front and at tip. Venation of forewing 

 much as in Dicosnwecus or Astenophylax, but fork one is back on
