340 NEUROPTERA. 



black dots forming a transverse row across the middle, a few spots on 

 lateral lobes of the thorax ; abdomen short, dark ; legs pale. Wings 

 with pale longitudinal veins, but almost all of the cross-veins are black, 

 including the divisory, origin of radial sector, branches of radial sector, 

 and anal veins ; a small black cloud over the base of the radial sector ; 

 stigma distinct ; hind wings with mostly pale venation, but the cross- 

 veins are black at bases. Wings rather short, rounded at tips, second 

 cubital cell nearly as long as third, slender, the third not much widened 

 at tip, divisory veinlet ends beyond cross-veins, inner series (of only 

 three or four veins) as near to radial sector as to the outer row ; in 

 hind wings the radial sector unites to median only for a short distance. 

 Expanse 21 mm. 



From Go Home Bay, 12 July, Lake Huron, Can. (Walker). 



Chrysopa excepta n. sp. 



Green ; a prominent black stripe on each cheek from eye to mouth ; 

 antennae black, except basal joint, which has a black line on the outer 

 side ; the outer side of each antennal socket is narrowly margined with 

 black ; palpi marked with black ; thorax green, unmarked, pronotum 

 broad, but plainly narrowed in front ; abdomen pale ; legs pale yellow- 

 ish. Wings with green venation, costals and many cross-veins mostly 

 black, but the gradates are pale ; in hind wings the costals only black ; 

 stigma distinct in both pairs. Wings moderately long, rounded at 

 tips, with inner gradate series (of four or five veins) about as near to 

 radial sector as to outer row ; second cubital cell no longer than the 

 third, latter very broad at tip, divisory veinlet ends beyond the cross- 

 veins ; in hind wings the radial sector unites with the median only for 

 a short distance. 



Expanse 27 mm. 



From Ft. Wingate, New Mexico, 25 July (Woodgate); 

 near to Ch. lineaticornis, but the mark on cheek separates it, 

 and in that species the inner gradate series is nearer to the 

 outer than to the radial sector. 



Clirysopa iiicoini>leta n. sp. 



Greenish ; second joint of antennae not black ; a black band across 

 the face just beneath the antennae, a black spot on each cheek, and 

 one on each side on the clypeus, no marks on the upper antennal 

 sockets, two black stripes on the vertex ; palpi marked with black ; 

 pronotum broad, sides parallel, narrowed in front, and the anterior 

 outer edge black ; abdomen dark ; legs pale. Wings with green vena- 

 tion, the costals and radial cross-veins wholly black, other cross- 

 veins black at bases, gradates dark ; in hind wings the costals and 

 bases of other cross-veins dark ; stigma distinct in both pairs. Wings 

 broad, rounded at tips, second cubital cell no longer than the third,
