Palearctic Nemours. 567 
That this is really Scopoli’s insect is very doubtful. 
Still the name is singularly appropriate, and I would 
have adopted it in preference to creating a new one, if 
such a course had been at all prudent. 
Nemoura maracandica. 
Teniopteryx maracandica, McLachlan, Fedchenko’s 
Travels in Turkestan, Neuroptera, p. 54. 
Black, with greyish pubescence, somewhat shining. Head con- 
cave in middle of disc. Pronotum almost quadrate, sides straight, 
nearly parallel, anterior angles sub-acute, disc faintly rugose. Feet 
sub-testaceous, with greyish pubescence, femora fuscous externally, 
tibize fuscous at base, tarsi black. Abdomen black ; ventral lamina 
of $ triangular, truncate, beneath somewhat concave ; appendages 
testaceous. Ventral lamina of ¢ large, adpressed, sub-testaceous, 
with rounded margin, Anterior wings elongate, greyish, faintly 
irrorated with darker grey dots, neuration blackish fuscous. Exp., 
al., 18-24 mm. 
Found near Samarcand and Taschkent. I have seen 
the types, but the above description is mainly from 
Mr. McLachlan’s diagnosis. he insect is a large one, 
with the facies of a Tseniopteryx, and is very distinct 
on account of its dotted wings. 
Nemoura ornata. 
N. ornata, Mclachlan, Fedchenko’s Travels in Turke- 
stan, Neuroptera, p. 55. 
Blackish with greyish pubescence, shining ; head concave in 
middle of disc. Pronotum transversely sub-quadrate, sides straight, 
parallel, disc almost smooth. Feet black, with greyish pubescence, 
femora with apex testaceous. Ventral lamina of 9 large, ad- 
pressed, entire, transversely striate. Anterior wings short, broad, 
vitreous, with blackish neuration ; two irregular transverse fascie, 
margins of the nervures and some small clouds all smoky. Inferior 
branch of sector much curved. Exp., al., 17-175 mm. (¢). 
This species is from the mountains of Khokan. I am 
indebted to Mr. McLachlan for a sight of the types, and 
the above is mainly a translation of his diagnosis. A 
pretty little species marked somewhat after the manner 
of N. Meyeri, but the markings are much more definite ; 
the femora are also nearly altogether dark externally.
