Neuropterous Fauna of Japan. 169 
By the nature of the markings of the abdomen, this 
bears some slight resemblance to the European £. lineata, 
Haton; the individual is in indifferent condition. 
EF’. japonica, sp. nov. 
Very pale yellow, a black line on each side of the 
pronotum ; the abdominal segments above, before the apex, 
with a very oblique narrow black line on each side, thus:\/, 
beneath with similar lines; on the segments immedi- 
ately before the penultimate there is also frequently a 
short, black, central line ; tails brownish, the sutures black, 
and the base dark fuscous, almost blackish; appendages 
of the ¢ pale yellowish-white ; the second joint very long 
and slender, and strongly curved outwards; the two 
terminal joints (3rd and 4th) very short ; the 3rd fuscous, 
the basal joint very short; penis notched at the apex, the 
two points turned inward. Leg gs very pale yellow; in 
the anterior pair the tips of the femora, and the whole of 
the tibiz and tarsi, fuscous. Wi ings very pale ereenish- 
yellow, with bisckaeh veins; in the @ there is a small 
nodal point, and another discal (still more minute), 
fuscous; in the ¢ the anal portion of the anterior wings 
has a narrow greyish border, and there is a broader border 
to the posterior wings in both sexes. 
The sub-imago only differs in that the colour of the 
body is duller and the wings slightly less transparent. 
Eixpanse ¢ 26 mm., 2? 32 mm. 
Yokohama (Pryer). 
A delicate insect, with very evanescent appearance. 
Both these Japanese species are distinct from the 
Chinese L’. serica, Katon, which should perhaps be placed 
between them; it differs in markings, and also especially 
in the long and slender apical joints of the appendages in 
the ¢. 
LEPTOPHLEBIA, Westwood. 
LL. elongatula, sp. nov. 
(¢ imago.) Dark liver-colour. Legs pale yellowish ; 
anterior pair almost wholly fuscous, the femora paler ; 
posterior tarsi 4-jointed. Tails blackish-fuscous. Anterior 
wings elongate, narrow, vitreous, with the costal margin 
narrowly brownish-yellow ; neuration fuscescent, yellowish 
at the base, and the subeost a and radius yellow we in their
