14 NEUROPTERA. 



Length 3| lin. ; exp. 6J— 7 lin. 



Sal. The Hermitage garden, near London, July ; Loch 

 Derg. 

 Ohs. In the collection of the British Museum two spe- 

 cimens of Rhyacoph. dor sails stood as H. angustata, Steph. ; 

 but as two specimens of angustata were there unlabelled, a 

 transposition has probably taken place. 



At present I can separate the two species (104 and 105) 

 by the narrow wings only of the latter ; I have no examples 

 in good condition. 



1). Antennae as long or longer than the wings, the 

 basal moiety with a black oblique line on each 

 joint ; the third joint of the maxillary palpi shorter 

 than the fourth, triangular, the fifth longer than 

 all the rest united j posterior wings not emarginate 

 at the apex. 



* Penis with a hook on each side before the thickened 

 apex. 



106. H. PELLUCiDULA, Curt. Phil. M. iv. 213; Steph. 

 111. 172, 4; S. varmhilis, Pict. 



I am unable at present to separate H. hihernica, Steph. 

 111. 173, 5 {H. lata, P. ?) ; S. guttula and lanceo- 

 lata, Steph. 111. 172, 3 and 174, 6 {R. cinerea, P. ?) ; 

 a. teiiuicornis, Steph. 111. 171, 2.
