92 NEUROPTERA. 



unknown to me. My determination of the English species 

 will therefore require further confirmation to render it per- 

 fectly certain. 



31. Stenophylax Vibex, Curt. Phil. Mag. 125; H. hie- 



roglyphicus, Steph. 111. 210, 5 ; S. striatus, Kolen. ; 

 Ramb. 

 Reddish-ochreous ; mesothorax above pitchy brown on 

 each side ; anterior wings ochreous, closely sprinkled 

 with reddish freckles, with the exception of the an- 

 terior and posterior margins ; anterior branch of the 

 ramus thyrifer blackish, as far as the fifth apical 

 cell. App. anal. $ triangular, large, internally hol- 

 lowed out like a spoon, with the acute apex curved 

 inwards; margin of the last segment straightly trun- 

 cated (vide Brauer, N. A. fig. 58, 59). 

 Length 1\ lin. ; exp. 13 lin. 



Hab. London, Ripley, Albury, in August and Sep- 

 tember. 

 This species is perfectly certain for England. Perhaps it 

 would be advisable to adopt Stephens's name, as Curtis has 

 ticketed the following species as " Vibex, Curt.," in Pictet's 

 types, and his description in the Phil. Mag. is insufficient. 

 In Curtis's collection the above species stands as H. Vibex. 



32. S. Striatus, Pict. ; H. tenebrosus, Curt. Coll. ; H. 



Vibex, Steph. 111. 209, 3. 

 Extremely similar to the preceding species in colour and 

 form. App. anal. $ very different, small, spoon- 

 shaped, rounded off ; the hinder margin of the last 

 segment hangs down in the form of a long broad lobe, 

 ?vith a dense black brash, between the app. anal. sup.
