Sacken); New York; Savannah, Dalton, Georgia; Pennsylvania; 

 Virginia (Osten Sacken); Illinois (Kennicott); Maryland (Uhler) ; 

 New Orleans (Pfeiffer); Tennessee (Saussure). 



2. Ch, illepida! 



Chrysopa illepida Fitch, Report I, 84. 



Very much like the preceding species, but the four occipital 

 spots are conjoined in two lines ; the anterior wings with the trans- 

 verse veins only of the costa, at their base and apex, the base of 

 the second sector, and the gradate veins, black. 



Same size as the preceding species. 



Hub. New York; Illinois, June (Asa Fitch); perhaps a variety 

 of the preceding. 



3. Ch. albicornis. 



Chrysopa albicornis Fitch, Report I, 84. 



Very much like Ch. oculata, the four occipital black points con- 

 joined in two lines; the basal article of the antennae annulated with 

 sanguineous, the transverse veinlets of all the wings entirely, or in 

 part black. (From the description of Dr. Fitch.) 



Same size as the preceding. 



Hab. Mississippi, April (Asa Fitch) ; perhaps a variety. 



4. Ch. chlorophana! 



Chrysopa chlorophana Burm. Handb. II, 979, 1; Schneid.! Monog. Chrys. 

 127, 32, tab. xliv. — Chrysopa xanthocephala Fitch, Report I, 85. 



Very much like Ch. illepida, head having the same picturation, 

 but differs in the wings being a little viridescent, the apex more 

 rounded, the pterostigma obscurer, and the cilite of the veins longer. 



Same size as preceding. 



Hab. New York; Lake Michigan, June (Asa Fitch). 



Its appearance is different; but it is ditBcult to be separated by 

 distinct marks. Further experience will decide whether the species 

 of Dr. Fitch can be justly separated from it. 



5. Ch. fulvibucca. 



Chrysopa fulvibucca Fitch, Report I, 86. 



Very much like Ch. oculata, but differs in wanting the external 

 black streaks of the cheeks ; points of the prothorax variable. 

 (From the description of Dr. Fitch.)
