Neuropterous Family Nemoptcridix). 459 



As the name costalis stands before angulata in the Proc. 

 Ent. Soc, the former must stand for the species if the two 

 names are correctly placed together as sexes, as appears 

 probable.

This is the type of the genus, N. pallida, Olivier, being 

 the first of four species referred by Rambur to Halter, and, 

 moreover, being figured. The specimen in the British 

 Museum is from Mount Sinai. Several other species have 

 been wrongly called N. halterata by various authors, whose 

 references I have not always quoted.
