416 CLASS VIII. 
Scorpion-fly. A. Brants has given an anatomical survey of this little 
animal in the Tijdschr. voor nat. Gesch. en Physiol. vi. 1839, bl. 173—198, 
Pl. vii. The pupa is concealed underground; it has been described and 
figured by F. STEIN, WIEGMANN’S Archiv, 1838, s. 330. Taf. 7, figs. 1o—13. 
The larva, with its mode of life and its residence, is still unknown. 
B. Ocelli none. Wings imperfect, in males subulate, in 
females very short, rotundate. 
Boreus LAtTR. (Female with triarticulate ovipositor, encased 
beneath in a bilobed lamella.) 
Sp. Boreus hyemalis, Panorpa hyemalis L., Gryllus proboscideus PANZER, 
Deutschl. Ins. Heft 23, Tab. 18 ; Guérin, Zconogr. Ins. Pl. 61, fig. 4. 
Note.—Genus Chorista Kuve, resembling Panorpa in habit and 
characters, differs from it in the head not being produced into a 
rostrum. Species from New Holland.

Family XXX. Hemerobint. Head moderate or small, trans- 
verse, with eyes prominent. Mandibles distinct. Mandibles deeply 
bilobate, with external lobe often palpiform, articulate. Ligula 
distinct. Labial palps triarticulate. Wings reticulate, with nume- 
rous transverse nervures, mostly deflected. Antenne always com- 
posed of many joints, in length very different. 
Raphidia L. (in part). Palps short, filiform, maxillary quin- 
quearticulate. Antenne filiform, short. Prothorax elongate, nar- 
row, subcylindrical. Third joint of tarsi bilobed, receiving the 
minute fourth joint between the lobes, fifth elongate, terminated by 
double claw. Abdomen of female furnished with ovipositor, exsert, 
flexible. 
Camel-fly. These insects live in the state of pupa and nymph under the 
bark of trees; the nymph begins to move shortly before the last meta- 
morphosis. Comp. A. PERCHERON, Mém. sur les Raphidies in GUERIN, 
Magasin de Zoologie, 1833, Cl. 1x. Pl. 66; Fr. STEIN in WIEGMANN’S 
Archiv, 1838, s. 316—330; G. T. ScHnerpER, Monographia generis 
Raphidie, adjectis tabul. vil. Vratislavie, 1843, 4to. 
Linn£US united the European specimens known to him into one 
species, Raphidia ophiopis. Modern writers distinguish different species ; 
in most, three simple eyes are present; in one species, first described by 
ScuumMEL, Raph. crassicornis, they are wanting ; of this species, SCHNEIDER, 
op. cit., forms a separate genus, Inocellia.
