Note 13.— 



NOTHOCHRYSA McLachlan. 



Genus related to Chrysopa; differs in having the third cubital cell 



equally divided. 



N. califtoriiicsi n. sp. — Length of body 9 mm. ; length of wings 12 mm. 

 Dark, autenuse and palpi black. Head reddish yellow, antennal sockets sui- 

 rounded with black, three black streaks above connected with the black of an- 

 tennal sockets, a few narrow blackish lines below autennse; prothorax black, 

 with a median light stripe widening at each end, the extreme margin light, rest 

 of thorax and abdomen black, the posterior margin of the segments on sides 

 narrowly yellowish. Legs testaceous, middle and hind femora darker, tips of 

 tibise and joints of tarsi black. Wings hyaline, veins mostly black, costa and 

 base of radius on fore wings, costa and almost whole of radius on hind wings 

 yellowish, pterostigma brownish ; tips of wings rounded ; prothorax widest be- 

 hind, gradually narrowed in front. Abdomen short; antennse shorter than wings. 



Locality. — California. 



Note 14. — I consider Chrysopa illepida, fulvlbxicca, chi,ypsilo7i and 

 mississippie^isis as all equal to C. oeulata. 



Note 15. — Limnephilus pudiciis is probably the same as L. sub- 

 monilifer Walk. 



Note 16. — Heteroplectron is placed in the Leptoceridae by McLach- 

 lan. It will not go to that family in the key. The wings are broad, 

 and the last joint of the palpi is short ; if it belongs to the Lepto- 

 ceridae, it is certainly a very aberrant member.
