observed in the Eastern Pyrenees, ce. 233 
of them on the pronotum is an angulated mark on either side). 
Legs pale; tarsi testaceous; claws dilated at base. Abdomen 
pale, with short whitish pubescence. Wings: anterior pair with 
a minute blackish spot at the base of the costal margin; neuration 
pale, the nervules with a black point or space at either end, the 
gradate nervules (5—6 inner, 6—7 outer) wholly black; all the 
neuration bearing rather long and distinct blackish hairs: in the 
posterior wings most of the neuration below the sector in the lower 
half (excepting the gradate nervules) is wholly pale. LExpanse, 
24—31 mm. 
The relationship of this species with C. jflavifrons, 
Brauer, is evident, and it may be scarcely more than a 
condition of that somewhat Protean insect; those in- 
dividuals, in which the reddish markings on the pro- 
notum are reduced to an angulated indication, especially 
recall flavifrons. It is advisable that a re-examination 
be made of the single type of C. granadensis, Ed. Pict. 
Two papers dealing with the results of examinations 
of Kid. Pictet’s Spanish Chrysope have been published ; 
the first by Hagen in the Stett. Ent. Zeitung for 1866, 
and the second by myself in the Ent. Month. Mag., 
vol. xvil., 1880. The conclusions arrived at were not 
quite the same, and I think we both erred on the side of 
insutticient knowledge of the range of variation in the 
Species of this genus.

I have arrived at the conclusion that this species, 
originally described from one female, is quite distinct 
from C. flava, Scop., with which I had provisionally 
united it as a slight variety, and that three examples 
(one male, two females), taken by the Rev. A. E. Eaton 
in the Appenino Pistojese, Central Italy, are identical 
therewith, the most striking feature being that the two 
series of gradate nervules are entirely and conspicuously 
black; tolerably well indicated in Ed. Pictet’s figure. 
The costal margin of the anterior wings is precisely as 
in C. flava in both sexes, and the male has the same 
incrassated nervules in the costal area. There is a 
very striking difference in the anal parts of the male, 
and in connection with these I have become aware of a 
serious error in a short article by me on the differences
