Dr. Hagen, in his « Neuroptera of X. America », p. 7, indicated a larva from Cuba. Later on, in bis 

 « Synopsis Embidinorum Synonymica », he applied the name Olyntha cubana to this, and says he then 

 possessed the imago; here qo description is given. Supposing the larva to be full-grown, the size given 

 ■ih 4 1 would appear to indicate a smaller species than E. Salvini ».

« ö*. Minor, fusco-niger. Caput crassum ac brevius, oculis magnis, prominulis, reniformibus, inferne 

 haud anguste coaretatis, margine antico sinuato, a latere latis, quam antennae in crano propiores. Antennae 

 articulis 21-22 compositae, omnibus fuscis. Alae infuscatae parum obscurae, venis fuscis; inter venas lineis 

 longitudinalibus vitreis. Vena media prope basin furcata, ramoque postico in medio iterum furcato; furca 

 rann postici breviter fusca, dehinc subtili. Venae ulnares binae subtilissimae vel nullae; yenulae transversae 

 inter venam discoi'dalem et niediam ultra medium 3; in furca venae mediae 1, in reliquo elytro nullae. 

 Pronotum parvum, subquadratum vel potius elongato-trape/.inum, rufodateritium, vel aurantiaemn, ante 

 medium sulco transverso notatum. Mesonotum cordiforme, convexiusculum, nitidum, marginibus subtilissime 

 testaceo-limbatis. Femora modice inflata; anteriora intermediis vix crassiora. Cerci graciles, seeundo articulo 

 primo dti]ilo longiore (cylindrico). Laminae anales sensim sicut in Uhrichi. Long, j"""; elytr. 6 mm . 



9. Fusca. Antennae palhdiones breviores, articulis 2 ultimis pallidoribus, fusco annulatis. Oculi 

 minuti, haud prominuli. Long. S-g in,n . 



(Larvae?) Pronotum rufum vel aurantiacum, per sulcos 2 transversa divisum. Lamina supraanalis
