A SYNONYMIC LIST OF JAPANESE CHRYSOPIDA, WITH 
DESCRIPTIONS OF ONE NEW GENUS 
AND THREE NEW SPECIES. 
By Waro NAKAHARA. 
In the Journal of the College of Agriculture, Tohoku Im- 
perial University, Vol. VI, for August, 1914, Mr. H. Okamoto 
has published a paper entitled “‘Uber die Chrysopiden-Fauna 
Japans,’’ enumerating 31 species of Lace-winged flies as oc- 
curring in Japan and Formosa. I regret to say, however, that 
I have found that his view cannot be accepted in some cases, 
and at the same time I was able to discover some new forms. 
This paper will include a synonymic list of Japanese Chryso- 
pidae (excluding those that are confined to Formosa, Loo-Choo, 
or Bonin Island), to be followed with descriptions of new forms. 
To show the points of more or less difference between the 
opinions of Okamoto and of .myself, I present the following 
comparative table of the forms described or mentioned 
by him (left column) and those listed by me in the present 
paper (right column): 
Nakaura matsumare (Okamoto)=A pochrysa matsumare Okam. 
Nothochrysa olivacea Gerstaeker = Parachrysa (n. g.) olivacea (Gerst.) 
Chrysopa intima M’Lach.= ely sobs perla intima M’Lach. 
Ch. nigriceps Okam.=Ch. perla L. 
Ch. sapporensis Okam.=Ch. formosa Brauer. 
Ch. inornata Matsumura= Ch. vittata Wesm. 
Ch. nikkoensis Okam.=Ch. sachalinensis Mats. 
The species newly added to our fauna are as follows: 1. 
Apochrysa minomoana n. sp. 2. Chrysocerca japonica n. sp. 
3. Chrysopa yamamure n. sp. 4. Ch. alba Linne.
