80 NEUROPTERA. 



Yellowish-brown ; palpi and antennas reddish ; head and 

 thorax brownish ; abdomen ochreous ; anterior wings 

 shining;, pale yellowish -brown, with three long, white, 

 straight longitudinal streaks, the intermediate one 

 somewhat the shortest, in the discoidal field ; the 

 base of the apical cells white ; in the third and sixth 

 (first sub-apical cell) only one w T hite dot. 

 Length 6 lin. ; exp. 11 lin. 

 Hab. New Forest, in June. 

 Of this strikingly marked species (the figure given by 

 Curtis is very successful), I am only acquainted with females. 

 Whether the posterior wings of the male are furnished with 

 a beard 1 do not know ; at any rate L. elegans differs re- 

 markably from the other species, and perhaps forms a dis- 

 tinct group with the nearly allied L. designatus, Walk., 

 from Arctic America. 



Sub-genus Goniotaulius, Kolenati (partim). 



Very similar to the preceding in form and marking ; the 

 posterior wings of the male destitute of beard; colour of 

 the anterior wings whitish-grey, spotted with brown or black ; 

 the rhombic fenestrated spot is smaller, often indistinct ; the 

 marking and coloration of the anterior wings differs very 

 considerably in the same species, according as the darker 

 spots coalesce more or less, or even entirely. 



Case of the larva cylindrical, straight, with the ends 

 rounded off (pupa), constructed of small stones arranged 

 regularly in mosaic.
