6 AMERICAN NEUROPTERA. 



pale ; wings hyaline, longitudinal veins pale, the cross-veinlets almost all entirely 

 dark brown ; hind wings with cross-veinlets dark only at bases; pterostignia not 

 very distinct in either pair of wings. Antennie much longer than wings, latter 

 rather short, fore pair broadly rounded at tips, hind pair acute, divisory veinlet 

 of third cubital cell starts very close to cubital vein, two series of gradate vein- 

 lets in both wings. Length 14 mm. 



Oue specimen from Tuxpan, Mexico, September 5th (McClen- 

 don). Differs from all others known to me by red line on basal 

 fourth of antennse. 



Ereinoclirysa californica n. sp. — Head yellowish, vertex somewhat 

 reddish each side, basal joints of antennae short, rather reddish, unmarked, rest 

 of antennae yellowish, dark toward tip. Pronotum short, yellowish, three short 

 dark marks on front part, rest of thorax not very distinctly spotted on sides, 

 pale in middle ; abdomen brown; legs pale. Wings hyaline, cross-veins almost 

 all wholly brown, the longitudinal veins are not spotted with brown, except 

 sometimes at ends of cross-veinlets, divisory veinlet of third cubital cell dark 

 and ending plainly beyond cross-vein. Length 8 mm. 



Two specimens from Santa Clara County, ('alifornia. Agrees 

 with E. fratera in wholly dark cross-veins, but differs in lacking 

 dots on longitudinal veins, in shorter basal joints of antennae, with- 

 out the brown stripes, smaller size and markings of prothorax. 



Calinemarns fui^CUS n. sp. — Head yellow, inter-antennal mark jet black, 

 extending below base of antennae from eye to eye, not extending down in median 

 line; vertex with two dark transverse brown bands; antennae brown, basal 

 joints paler, with a brown mark ; thorax black, a narrow median line and two 

 stripes each side yellow, one of the latter sometimes broken into an anterior spot 

 and a dash behind it; niesothorax and metathorax black, with many small yel- 

 low spots. Abdomen black, above narrowly yellow on basal half, with a median 

 dark line ; apical segments with a small yellow spot above, scarcely distinct ; legs 

 yellow, heavily spotted with black, especially on anterior pair, tarsal joints black 

 on apical half. Wings rather cinereous, the veins black, in forewings many of 

 the cross-veinlets are slightly margined with black, the longitudinal veins more 

 or less interrupted with pale, black patches at end of the pterostignia and along 

 the cubital vein, and at end of same, with an oblique line reaching toward the 

 tip of wing, and a patch at end of anal vein; hindwings with black venation, 

 the longitudinal interrupted with pale. Vertex moderately high ; anteniife 

 rather long; abdomen (of male) a little longer than wings, the last segment 

 much shorter than the preceding, and also shorten than the slightly curved, 

 black appendages. Wings moderately narrow, all acute at tips, the venation 

 very dense, and the costal area mostly with three rows of cells; two rows of cells 

 basad of the origin of the radial sector; two series of cells between cubitus and 

 anal vein most of the way; the anal vein ending beyond origin of second fork 

 of radial sector; apical part of wing very densely veined. Expanse 54-60 mm. 



Two male specimens from Nogales. Arizona, July (Jth (Oshir).
