1880. J 107 



12th May. These do not differ from English examples, excepting that 

 the blackish axillae of the furcations and the transverse veinlets are 

 rather darker. The number of transverse veinlets is very variable. 



HEMEROBIIDiE. 



Hemeroibius subnebulosus, Stephens. — One $ from near Almodovar, 

 8th May, one <J from the slopes of Picota, about 1650 feet, 20th May, 

 one ? between Coimbra and Sao Antonio, 3rd June, two $ from Cea, 

 1692 feet, 6th and 8th June. These are much less smoky than the 

 ordinary British form. 



Hemerobius limbatus, Wesmael. — Two from Cintra, 27th April, 

 three from Cea, 8th June, one from Villa Eeal, 25th June ; all ? . 

 They do not differ from British examples. 



CHRYSOPID.E. 



Chrysopa vulgaris, Schneider. — One example, Cintra, 1st June 

 (also one example belonging to the Lisbon Museum). 



Chrysopa septempunctata, "Wesmael. — One example, Cintra, 1st 

 June (also in the Lisbon Museum). 



Chrysopa formosa, Brauer. — One example near Villa Eeal, 23rd 

 June (also in the Lisbon Museum). 



Chrysopa nigro-punctata, Ed. Pict. ? — Two near Cintra, 28th and 

 29th April, one near Cea, 11th June. Further materials seem to 

 prove that nigro -punctata is not so distinct from flavifrons as it at first 

 appeared to me {vide ante, p. 62), but I refer Mr. Eaton's examples to 

 the former rather than to the latter. 



Chrysopa Picteti, McLachlan (= thoracica, Ed. Pict., vide ante, 

 p. 63). — One from between Coimbra and Sao Antonio, 3rd June, one 

 from near Villa Eeal, 25th June. Eresh examples are deep green 

 with a yellow dorsal vitta, not noticed in the original description of 

 thoracica. 



Chrysopa aspersa, W r esmael. — Seven examples from a hill S. W. 

 of Almodovar, beaten from cork-oak, 8th May, one from Cintra, 1st 

 June, one from between Cea and Sao Eomao, 9th June, three from 

 near Villa Eeal, 22nd, 24th, and 25th June. Excessively variable in 

 the spotting of the thorax, &c, even in individuals from the same 

 locality ; mostly of small size as compared with examples from Northern 

 Europe. I have never been able to satisfy myself that prasina of 

 Burmeister is more than a strongly marked form, and if so, that name 

 has priority over aspersa.
