able. As stated elsewhere, I think it probable that 
several of Ed. Pictet’s species will eventually be merged 
into flavifrons as varieties. 
C: viridana, Schnd. — Very abundant. A most 
charming species when alive, the bright green being 
set off by the striking yellow or whitish dorsal line. 
Like most others it soon fades. 
(C. tenella, Schnd.—Two examples occurred at Cau- 
terets (Hautes Pyrénées), but the species was not observed 
at Vernet. | 
C. flava, Scop.—Not uncommon. 
C. vulgaris, Schnd.—Tolerably common. 
NEw OR LITTLE-KNOWN PALMARCTIC SPECIES. 
Chrysopa Walkert (Brauer, in Mus.), n. sp. 
_ Of the size and form of C. perla, L., Schneid., but the general 
coloration is full green (not blue-green). Head with a slight 
yellowish tinge, strongly marked with shining black as follows :— 
a more or less triangular spot on each side of the posterior margin 
touching each eye, and sometimes connected by a narrow line on 
the posterior margin, or sometimes this line is broken up into 
spots (or it may be virtually obsolete) ; on the middle of the vertex 
near the posterior margin (and sometimes touching it) are two 
contiguous spots, often united, but varying much in size (and 
occasionally obsolete) ; extending from the middle of the vertex 
forwards is a A-shaped mark, the branches of which are often thick- 
ened towards their tips (or origin), connected by a stalk between the 
base of the antenne, and again, on the front, with two crescentic 
(wv ) marks below the base of the antennal sockets, and there is 
frequently a fine line at the origin of the basal joint; on the front 
are two large round-oval spots on each side, one on the gene, 
the other on either side of the clypeus. Palpi for the most part 
black, pale at the base and at the articulations. Antenne pale 
brownish, the second joint wholly shining black. Pronotum hairy, 
its sides broadly black, which colour is more or less divided, 
by the transverse groove, into two spots on either side. Meso- 
and meta-notum with a large (but varying) crescentic black spot 
on either side, in which is usually a black pupil. On the pectus 
there is a large median black spot on the prosternum and meso- 
sternum (between the legs), and the cox are more or less black. 
Legs green, the tarsi brownish. Abdomen green, largely varied with 
black (not describable from dry individuals). In the anterior wings 
the longitudinal nervures are green, but the transverse nervules
