600 Mr. W. F. Kirby on Neuroptera 



Previously in the British Museum from Pard and Fernando 

 Noronha. 



Tramea hrasiliana. 



Tramea brasiliana, Brauer, Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xvii. p. 812 



(18G7). 



Obydos, Feb. 2, 1896. 

 One specimen. 



The specimens previously in the British Museum are from 

 "Brazil" (Rio?) and Para. 



Genus Tauriphila, Xirb. 



Tauriphila iphigenia. 



Tramea iphigenia, Hagen, Stett. eat. Zeit. xxviii. p. 230 (1867), xxx. 

 p. 262 (1869). 



Obydos [F.\ Feb. 2, 1896. 



Previously in the Museum from Pard and the Tapajos. 



Tauriphila nycteris. 

 Tauriphila nycteris, Karsch, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. xxxiii. p. .351 (1890). 



A fine male from Obydos, Feb. 2, 1896. 



The legs in both sexes are rufo-testaceous, and the abdomen 

 is without black spots towards the extremity. In the male 

 the ferruginous space on the hind wings resembles that of 

 Tramea basal is ; in a female from Brazil (Rio?) it is nar- 

 rower. Karsch describes a female from Bahia. Tiie male 

 has 15 antecubital cross-nervules on the fore wings, the female 

 only 13. 



Genus MlATHYRiA, Kirb. 



Miathyria marcella. 



Libelltda marcella, De Solys, Ramon do la Sagra, Hist. Cuba, Jus. p. 4-52 

 (1857). 



Santarcm, Jan. 27-31 ; Obydos, Feb. 2 ; Manaos, Feb. 14, 

 1896. 



Appears to be a very common species on the Lower 

 Amazons, especially at Santarcm {E. E. A.). Mr. Austen 

 did not meet with ^f. pusilla, Kirb., which I am now inclined 

 to think is synonymous with Af. siinplexy llamb. 



[Miathyria jidvescens, sp. u. (PI. XI 1 1, fig. 2.) 



Long. corp. 31-3-4 millim. ; exp. al. 50-56 millira. ; long, 

 pter. 1"50 millim.
