300 : Mr. R. McLachlan on the 
Anomalochrysa rufescens, ni. sp. 
Body pale reddish. Head polished ; antennx, palpi, and 
legs concolorous with the body ; the basal joint of the antennz 
strongly bulbose ; claws darker. 
Pronotum longer than broad, slightly narrowed anteriorly, 
with a deep transverse impressed line before the posterior 
margin. 
Abdomen apparently varied with darker (blackish ?), and 
with pale margins to the segments ; hairy clothing slight and 
ordinary. In the male the apex has an analogous formation 
to that seen in A. hepatica; but the superior plate is more 
oval and less conspicuous (inferior appendage probably nar- 
rower, but uncertain, owing to the method of preparation of 
the specimen). 
Wings vitreous, iridescent, those of the male distinctly 
shorter and broader than in the female ; in the male there 7s a 
peculiar formation of the costal margin of the anterior pair ; 
this is shallowly excised soon after the base, and before the 
pterostigmatic region it is rather suddenly elevated and in- 
crassated, after which the costal area is very narrow (in the 
posterior wings the only peculiarity is a thickening and slight 
elevation of the costa at the corresponding point; in the 
female there is a slight thickening of the costa in both pairs 
of wings, but with no sudden elevation) ; neuration strong, 
olivaceous (probably decidedly greenish in life), set with 
short black hairs ; pterostigmatic region dingy yellowish (the 
texture at this region is altered and is subcoriaceous) ; three 
series of gradate nervules in the anterior wings, of which the 
inner consists of eight nervules in the male and eleven in the 
female, the second of seven in the male and nine in the female, 
and the third (or outer) is continuous with the superior cubi- 
tus (in the male the sector and the inner series of gradate ner- 
vules are thickened) ; posterior wings with only two series of 
gradate nervules. 
Length of body, ¢ 9 millim., 9 10 millim.; expanse, g 
21 millim., 2? 25 millim. (Blackburn, one 3, No. 20, one 
?, No. 21). 
This is less complex in its neuration than A. hepatica, but 
the diversity in the form in the two sexes and the very singular 
condition of the costal margin in the male render it in some 
respects the more peculiar. 
Chrysopa microphya, i. sp. 
Body yellowish testaceous (“ bright green”’ in life). Head 
polished ; palpi, antennz, and legs concolorous with the body ;
