the British Neuroptera-Planipennia. 205 



Length of body 3-4 lines ; expanse of wings 11-12 

 lines. 



Occurs in woods in summer ; apparently less frequent 

 than the next, with which it is generally confounded in 

 collections.

In form and colouration, almost entirely similar to the 

 last ; in size slightly larger. May be at once separated 

 by the ungues, which are simple and but slightly curved 

 (PL XI. fig. 4 a). On the vertex the black transverse 

 posterior line is usually absent. 



Length of body 4-4^1ines; expanse of wings 12-13 

 lines. 



Occurs in woods in summer, and is moderately com- 

 mon. I find the transverse veinlets partially black in 

 both species (See Hagen, Ent. Ann. 1858, p. 24) .
