Neuroptera from Western C/u'/ui. 427 



with the genus yothochrysa^ M'Lach. ; neitlier, 1 think, ha3 

 N. robusta, nor j)robabIy others described in the same paper. 

 Nothochrj/sa is distini^uislied by its excised hibrum, by the 

 third cubital cellule beiii,2^ divided loni^'itudinally into two more 

 or less oblong parts, by the short stout anteume, and generally 

 robust form, all of which characters are absent in Chrysopa 

 pallida^ Schn. 



Chrysopa viinctilabrisy sp. n. 



Body green. Head above with a triangular excavated 

 space bounded by raised edges; front whitish green, with 

 nine conspicuous more or less oval black spots, viz. one 

 between the basal joints of the antennje, two on each side of 

 the genffi placed obliquely, one on each side of the clypeus, 

 and one on each side of the labrum. Palpi black, the joints 

 pale at base and apex, the terminal almost wholly black. 

 Antennae shorter than the wings, slender, slightly testaceous, 

 the basal joint green, bulbous. Prouotum transverse (broader 

 than long), with two deep transverse sulci and a raised ridge 

 between them, spotless. Legs whitish, with fine blackish 

 hairs ; tarsi slightly testaceous ; claws testaceous, strongly 

 dilated at the base internally. Abdomen clothed with whitish 

 hairs. 



Wings oval, moderately broad, subacute, all the margins 

 densely fringed, and the ueuration with strong blackish 

 (whitish in certain lights) divaricating hairs ; costal area 

 broad, with 28 to 32 nervules before the slightly yellowish 

 pterostigmatic space. Neuration green, varied with black as 

 follows : — the costal nervules, those below the radius at their 

 upper end, nearly all the basal nervules, those between the 

 cubiti at one or both ends, some of the axils of the marginal 

 furcations, and the gradate nervules ; sector nearly parallel 

 with the radius, and the two gradate series (seven to nine in 

 each on the anterior wings) are also nearly parallel ; dividing 

 nervule of the third cubital cellule extending to about half its 

 length and about one third beyond the insertion of the super- 

 posed nervule. 



Expanse 28-34 millim. 

 Four examples. 



Possibly of the group of Ch. 7 -punctata. Should be easily 

 recognized by the nine spots on the front, the presence of 

 those on the labrum being exceptional.
