16 NEUROPTERA. 



Length 5—6 lin. ; exp. 9—11 lin. 



Hah. Near London, June and July; Devonshire; 

 Scotland. 

 Ohs. In lieu of the 188 species of Phnjfjanid(B given by 

 Stephens 108 only are here described. The remainder are 

 some of them synonymes, some of them the other sex ; still 

 I consider it very probable that some of the reductions 

 made by me will prove erroneous. However, a comparison 

 with the fauna of other countries makes it very probable 

 that the number of species indigenous to Britain is greater 

 than that given by Stephens. Certain it is that at present 

 the smaller propo'i'tion only of the species which exist is 

 known. What a vast field lies open for those Entomologists 

 who have eyes for other creatures save beetles and butter- 

 flies !
