(Miis. Paris) with the second dilatation dark at the tip, while the $ also 

 figured {Mifs. Vienna) has the dilatation pale at the tip. The latter is 

 presumably from the Araxes Valley, Caucasus, and Navas proposed the 

 name litigiosa in the event of its proving different from K. extensa. 

 In his later revision of the Nemopteridae (Genera Insectorum, 1912, 

 p. 14) he raises his subgenus Olivierana to generic rank, and says that 

 he has seen other examples which have dissipated any doubts that he had 

 as to the identity of the specimens from the Caucasus with K. extensa- 

 The present specimen has the second dilatation dark at the tip, thus 

 agreeing with the typical c? and with another 6 from Malatia in my 

 collection.

 1, Amam, 24.ix.18, at light {Buxton). A very small species (fore

Clirysopa tigridis, n. sp. 



Reddi.sli testaceous, but not in good condition and probably discolourod. 

 Head reddish, markings uncertain ; antennae (incomplete) slender, pale with 

 fuscous lines above and externally on basal and second joints. Legs (anterior 

 and intermediate incomplete) whitish, tarsi with short black spines. 



Wings vitreous ; venation mainly whitish, with brownish dots and spots 

 in fore wings, most of the costal veinlets pale in the middle only ; veinlets 

 between radius and sector strongly margined with brown anteriorly ; dark dots 

 mostly where transverse veinlets anastomose with main veins and at the ter- 

 mination of marginal forks ; eight rather conspicuous dark blotches — namely, at 

 pterostigma, at apex of wing near termination of radial sector, at outer margin, 

 at gradate series of veiidets, at base of radius, and three on inner margin, the
