Neuroptera of the Hawavian Islands. 299 
Anomalochrysa hepatica, n. sp. 
Body liver-coloured, with a purplish tint (probably varied 
with paler on the pectus &c. in the living insect). Head 
polished, paler posteriorly ; face yellowish (at any rate in 
the male); palpi brownish ; antenne brownish (paler in the 
male and darker in the female in the pair before me), the 
basal joint strongly bulbose. 
Pronotum scarcely longer than broad, hardly narrowed an- 
teriorly ; a very deep transverse impression before the pos- 
terior margin. 
Legs pale yellow, the tarsi (especially the apical joint and 
claws) darker; posterior tibies with a fuscescent line above 
(more distinct in the female). 
Abdomen of the male clothed above with rather long and 
dense hairs directed toward the base (in the female there are 
only a few scattered short hairs directed in a contrary manner). 
In the male the terminal segment forms a large nearly cir- 
cular plate, shallowly concave above, but with an incrassate 
rim; beneath this plate is the large broadly triangular inferior 
appendage, which nearly equals the superior plate in length, 
and is obtuse and inturned at its apex; between these parts is 
seen a styliform process (penis ?), curved downward, its apex 
resting in the inturned apex of the inferior appendage (the 
lateral edges of this appendage are thickened and concave at 
the base). 
Wings vitreous, shining, and iridescent, moderately elon- 
gate, the apex obtuse (the posterior considerably narrower) ; 
neuration olivaceous (probably greenish in life), but appearing 
darker in certain lights ; the base of the radius and the com- 
mencement of the sector (which is thickened at that part) 
blackish ; all the neuration furnished with rather long black 
hairs, each of which proceeds from a black point or minute 
tubercle ; pterostigmatic region olivaceous, rather long, the 
subcosta ending with it; five series of gradate nervules in the 
anterior wings, of which the inner consists of about twelve 
nervules, the second of about seven or eight, the third of six 
or seven, the fourth and fifth of about seven each (but the 
intermediate series are more or less irregular) ; about twenty- 
five antepterostigmatic costal nervules; in the posterior 
wings there are only four series of gradate nervules. 
Length of body 8 millim.; expanse, ¢ 27 millim., ¢ 30 
millim. 
“Occurs at an elevation of about 4000 feet on Haleakala, 
Maui” (Blackburn, one g, one 3, No. 30).
