NOTES ON THE ENTOMOLOGY OF PORTUGAL. 



II. PSEUDO-NEUROPTERA (in part) & NEUROPTERA-PLAKIPENNIA 



BY ft. McLACHLAN, F.R.S., &c. 



As a first instalment toward the working-out of the materials 

 collected in Portugal by the Eev. A. E. Eaton— who published Intro- 

 ductory Notes on his tour in the last No. of this Magazine (pp. 73 — 

 79),— I submit a List of certain of the Neuroptera. The Planipennia 

 are complete, but the Pseudo-Neuroptera yet want the portions relating 

 to the Perlidce and Epliemeridce, which will probably be furnished 

 hereafter (either wholly or in part) by Mr. Eaton himself. The 

 Triclwptera (which formed by far the bulk of the collection) are so 

 rich in new forms, that it may probably be found impossible for them 

 to appear in this series of notes in the first instance, but a List, with 

 localities, &c, will be hereafter given, so as to maintain the uniformity 

 of the series. 



Mr. Eaton attended only very casually to the insects treated upon 

 in this paper, but the discoveries are valuable, for, with the exception 

 of some of the Odonata (of which De Selys indicated 17 species as 

 Portuguese in 1850, most of which are not the same as those here 

 enumerated), almost everything here is noticed as Portuguese for the 

 first time. Perhaps the most interesting are Myopsocus Eatoni, Gom- 

 phus Graslini, Amphiceschna Irene, and Sisyra Dalii, the first especially, 

 as adding a genus to the European Fauna. 



PSEUDO-NEUEOPTEEA. 

 TERMITID.E. 

 Termes lucifugus, Eossi. — One winged ? found drowning in a 

 reservoir at Cintra, 27th April, the only winged Termes seen during the 

 tour. Also soldier and larva found under a stone at the foot of a 

 chestnut tree at Ponte de Morcellos, the only occasion upon which 

 apterous forms were noticed. 



PSOCID^E. 



Myopsocus Eatoni, n. sp. 

 Head yellowish-grey, rather thickly spotted with deep black, the ocelli placed 

 in a larger black spot, front with somewhat undulating deep black longitudinal lines, 

 closely placed, those in the middle shorter than the others ; labrum blackish, with 

 a central yellowish spot. Antennae whitish-yellow, pilose, the apex of each joint 

 more distinctly whitish, preceded by a broad ante-apical black band. Palpi blackish, 

 with pale rings. Thorax and abdomen fuscescent, varied with yellowish (or vice 

 versa). Legs yellowish : coxae blackish ; trochanters with a fuscous mark ; femora 

 fuscescent or blackish externally, Avith indications of two macnlose ante-apic;tl black
