A LIST OF NEUROPTEROID INSECTS FROM NORTH 

 CAROLINA. 



By Nathan Banks. 



The following list is the result of an examination of several 

 collections from North Carolina during the past few years. 

 One of the most important was that made by Mr. Beutenmiiller 

 in the Black Mts., and all the specimens from that locality 

 should be credited to him. Mr. W. F. Fiske gave me a small 

 collection made at Tryon ; Mrs. A. T. Slosson has sent a few 

 from Lake Toxaway and Hot Springs, and Mr. A. H. Manee 

 has collected many interesting species, especially myrmeleons, 

 at Southern Pines. In the U. S. National Museum there is a 

 number of small species labelled " N. Car." From the pinning 

 I think they w^e taken by Morrison, and probably from near 

 Morgantown. Practically all the other localities represent 

 material taken by Mr. C. S. Brimley and Prof. Franklin Sher- 

 man, Jr., or his assistants. Professor Sherman has always 

 been on the lookout for these insects in his travels through the 

 State, so that to his efforts I am greatly indebted for the ma- 

 terials from which this list is made up. 



This material is sufficient to indicate that North Carolina 

 has a large and interesting neuropteroid fauna. The sandy 

 regions have a great variety of myrmeleons, while the moun- 

 tains have a varied and peculiar trichopterous fauna. The 

 Panorpidse are especially numerous, and of particular interest 

 is the Panorpodes, a genus elsewhere known only from Oregon 

 and Japan. 



Altogether 114 species are recorded in this list. The Odo- 

 nata and Termitidae are not included. 



Order CORRODENTIA. 



Family PSOCID/E. 



Pterodela rufus Walsh.

 Peripsocus madidus Hagen.

 Elipsocus conterminus Walsh.

 Morgantown.
