72 MECOPTERA AND PLANIPENNIA 
Chrysopa naesonympha Brauer. 
Chrysopa naesonympha Brauer, Novara Reise, Zool. I, Neur. p. 39 
(1865). Nicobar Islands. 
I never saw this form, but judging from the descrip- 
tion it seems to be related to ruficeps, flaveola or another 
allied species. Probably an allied form occurs in Sumatra. 
I give here a translation of the diagnosis: 
Pale yellowish green. Basal joint of the antennae sub- 
cylindrical, the tip at the underside punctated with golden 
yellow, above with pale brown, second joint globular, pale, 
annulated with fuscous. Palpi pale, third joint darker, with 
dark annulations. Yellowish streaks on the front, clypeus, 
labrum and the foreborder of the vertex yellowish gold. 
Pronotum margined with fuscous, yellowish green in the 
middle. Mesonotum yellow, infuscated at the base of the 
wings. Legs pale, tarsi short, claws simple. 
Wings long and narrow, costalfield very narrow at the 
base, the ramus divisorius confluent with the first discal- 
vein. Veins green, outer row of gradate veins black. 
Body 6—7 mm., forewing 11 mm., antennae 9—10 mm. 
Habitat: Kar Nicobar (Nicobar Islands). 
According to Brauer this species is related to the european 
C. tricolor, The type is in the Vienna Museum. 
Chrysopa splendida, nov. spec. 
(Plate 5, fig. 29). 
This is a very aberrant species by its spotted wings. 
Body luteous. Head with fuscous palpi, a black point above 
between the antennae. Vertex flat, with a brown point in 
the middle. Antennae luteous, about as long as the wings, 
the basal joint much incrassated and dark at the lateral side. 
Prothorax above with two triangular black spots in the 
anterior angles and ditto small points in the posterior ones. 
Mesonotum with two black points at the anterior border
