58 NEUROPTERA. 



darker on the dorsal margin, fenestrated spot and a large 

 space about the anastomosis hyaline, the veins of the anas- 

 tomosis darker than the others ; pterostigma very dark 

 pitchy-brown, longer than broad, and placed obliquely; a 

 large fuscous blotch extends obliquely from the lorcer part 

 of the anastomosis to the anal angle ; in the tip of the wing 

 is a faint fuscous cloud ; posterior wings nearly colourless, 

 with the apex, costal edge and a slight indication of a ptero- 

 stigma, yellowish. 



This species is allied to Jj. stigma, Curtis, but is a less 

 robust insect, and the anterior Avings are far more shining, 

 and the former never has the remarkable blotch at the anal 

 angle. Identified from a $ specimen sent under this name 

 to the British Museum by Dr. Ha gen, taken by that gentle- 

 man at Konigsberg ; but I feel bound to say, that neither that 

 specimen or mine appears to agree with Zetterstedt's descrip- 

 tion, and I should not be surprised if it prove to be a distinct 

 species. 



I found a specimen, also a ? , in a collection of these in- 

 sects sent for my determination by Mr. Winter, taken by him 

 at Ranworth, which I exhibited at the November Meeting of 

 the Entomological Society of London.
