The genus is cosmopolitan. In Insulinde the following 
species occur: 
Nothochrysa aequalis (Walker). 
(Plate 5, fig. 81). 
Chrysopa aequalis Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. Neur. p. 266, n°. 67 (1843). ?. 
Nothochrysa sumatrana Albarda, Midden-Sumatra, IV, prt. 5, p. 15 (1881). 
Sumatra. 
es polychroa Gerstaecker, Mitt. naturw. Ver. Neu-Vorpomm. und 
Rügen, XXV, p. 163 (1893). Java. 
Antennae reaching about at the pterostigma, black, the 
two basal joints ferrugineous. 
Body stout, testaceous or pale brown. Prothorax with 
darker sides and four impressed darker spots which are 
connected by two narrow bands (not always distinct). Meso- 
and metathorax brown, scutella and hindborders yellow. 
Abdomen stout and short, dark brown, with the hind- 
borders of the segments and the apical segments entirely 
testaceous. Legs testaceous, a broad dark brown band some- 
what before the tip of the femora, tibiae slightly darker 
at the tip. Tarsi brown. 
Wings very narrow, with acute tips, hyaline, with mo- 
derately open yellow-green nervature. Pterostigma very long 
and narrow, testaceous. In the forewings the 6 basal costal- 
veins, the first crossvein between the cubiti, that between the 
cub, inf. and postcosta and the origin of the radialsector black. 
Two complete, straight rows of gradate veins in both wings. 
Body 12—16 mm., forew. 18—20 mm., hindw. 16—17} mm., ant. 17 mm. 
Abd. 7—9 mm., gr. br. 5—5 mm, gr. br, 45—5 mm, 
Habitat: Sumatra, Borneo and Java. 
The fatherland of Ch. aequalis Wk. is unknown, probably 
it is continental, but this is only a supposition. 
The following subspecies are scarcely to be distinguished : 
Nothochrysa aequalis sumatrana Albarda. 
The sumatra-form has a rather larger size, but I find no 
other differences.
