﻿Addition to the knowledge of the 

 Neuropterous insect fauna of Corsica. 



By Esben Petersen, Silkeborg. 



During the months of August and September, last year, 

 my countryman, Mr. V. Budtz, Hotel d'Oro, Vizzavona, 

 Corsica, collected some Neuropterous insects for me. As 1 

 am very interested in Ephemerida, I asked him, especially 

 to obtain species of this order, and during a short time he 

 brought together a very fine lot. But of other Neuropterous 

 insects (sens, lat.) he has also forwarded to me a good many 

 species. When the collecting by Mr. V. Budtz has given 

 so good a result, it is a consequense of his cleverness in 

 coleopterology and his knowledge, in general, of the insects. 

 In «Catalogue des Névroptéres Odonates de la Corse«, par 

 M. Ed.de Selys Long c hamps and in «Névroptéres (non 

 Odonates) de la Corse«, par Dr. H. A. Hagen (Annales de 

 la Société Entomologique de France, 1862) there is a list 

 of the Neuropterous insects from Corsica, together with 

 descriptions of new genera and species ; but later, as far as 

 I know, no complete view is given, although more contri- 

 butions to the knowledge of the Neuropterous fauna are to 

 be found in different papers, dealing with European fauna 

 of this order. I therefore think, that the following list will 

 be of some interest. 



I. Planipennia. 

 1. Ascalaphiis corsicus Ramb. A fine specimen from 

 Monte d'Oro.
