1Q6 MANDIBUI.ATA. NEUROPTERA. 



pilose, and will probably, ere long, be divided as a distinct genus 

 from the others : the species are very much allied, but, from the 

 difference in neuration, may be easily distinguished from each other. 



A. Anterior wings with the costal nervures chiefly furcate : discoidal nervures 

 mostly arising from the inner longitudinal rib. 



a. Longitudinal nervures^ except the Jirst, united on the dine by two or more 



transverse ones. 



Sp. 1. hirtus. Flavescens, ocvlis ahdomineque fuscis, alis anticis subochraceis, 

 obsolete fusco reticulatis, fasciisqne duabus saturatioribus. (Long. corp. 5 — 6

 No. 3459. 



Head yellowish or ochreous; eyes fuscous; thorax yellowish; abdomen 

 fuscous; legs pale; anterior wings with the nervures pale fuscous, the 

 transverse ones— of which there are two complete rows — deeper fuscous, 

 forming two oblique streaks of that hue across the wings, in addition to 

 which are some fainter waved streaks and blotches, especially on the inner

 wings paler, with a faint fuscescent margin. 



Abundant in woods within the metropolitan district, especially at 

 Coombe and Darenth, in June and July ; also found in Scotland. 



Sp. 2. angulatus. Testaceo-Jlavescens, antennis nigro annulatis, alis abbreviatis 

 nervis {^transversis prasertim) fuscis, fascia angulatd saturatiore. (Long,

He. angulatus. Sieph. Catal. 312. No. 3479. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen testaceous-yellow ; eyes fuscous ; legs pale 

 testaceous ; wings short, yellowish, anterior with the nervures, especially 

 the transverse ones — of which there are three rows — fuscous, in addition to

 are some fuscous clouds ; posterior wings hyaline, with pale brownish 

 nervures; antennae pale testaceous, with black rings. 



Apparently rare ; found near London, in June, and in Scotland. 



b. (Seconrf longitudinal nervure /ree: not receiving any transverse one near its 



origin. 



Sp. 3. concinnus. Platb xxx. f. 3. — Rufescente-ochraceus, metathorace abdomi- 

 neque piceis, oculis atris, alis lutescentibus, nervis pallidioribus nigro pune~
