26 AMERICAN NEUROPTERA. 



€L,IMACIA McLacli. 



Antennae moniliforin ; subcosta of both wings runs into radius 

 near pterostignia ; but one radial sector; costal area of forewings 

 very narrow at base, the veinlets simple, and no recurrent vein ; 

 two short, broken, gradate series in the forewings, only one in hind- 

 wings ; the median vein is forked but once ; margin of wing even ; 

 last joint of palpi not much swollen. 



Type, — C. areolaris Hagen. 



Cliinacia areolaris Hagen. — Head uniform, shining yellowish brown ; 

 antennae dark brown ; thorax yellowish brown, pleura black ; abdomen dark 

 brown; legs pale yellow. Wings yellowish hyaline; two large dark brown 

 patches, one near base between subcosta and radial sector, and an oblique mark 

 from the inner end of the pterostigma to near the middle of wing, between the 

 ends of these marks and obliquely backward across the wing the veins are dark 

 brown, and have dark lines between them ; the radial sector and median con- 

 tinue dark, but the other veins are suddenly pale for a short distance and then 

 all are dark again, in this part of the wing there are dark marks between the 

 veins; there is a dark spot on middle of hind margin (often indistinct), and a 

 small one at tip of the pterostigma; hindwiugs with a dark spot before and a 

 smaller one after pterostigma ; venation partly brown. 



The head is rather full and round ; the antennae are heavier than usual ; the 

 wings are slender. The costal area is narrow at base, the costal veinlets not 

 forked, and the two short gradate series run slightly outward ; the radial sector 

 is connected back to radius three times. In the hindwings there is one radial 

 sector, giving otf two branches; pterostigmatic I'egion of both wings heavily 

 veined. Expanse 9-10 mm. 



Specimens from Shreveport, Louisiana; Plummer's Island, Mary- 

 land, August 24th (Busck) ; Francouia, New Hampshire (Slosson) ; 

 and Orono, Maine (Harvey), It has also been recorded from 

 Florida, Texas, Massachusetts and Saranac Mountains, New York. 

 Needham bases his species (C, dietyona) on larger size (which is 

 variable), on darker color (which also varies), and on the seven 

 l)ranches of cubitus. He says that the specimens in the Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology have six branches ; nearly all the speciniens 

 I have seen have but five branches; it is evident therefore that this 

 character varies, 



L,OMAIVlYIA n. gen. 



Anteume moniliform ; subcosta runs into the radius at ptero 

 stigma; no recurrent vein; one radial sector, which is connected 

 back to radiu.s twice, and gives off five branches; only one gradate 

 series, which starts under the pterostigma and runs obliquely basad ;
