NEUROPTERA. 3 



The species is of very wide distribution in Europe, and is also known from Asia Minor 

 and Western Turkestan. I have seen individuals from the islands of Madeira and St. Helena 

 that did not appear to differ. 



CHRYSOPA BIPUNCTATA, Burmeister. 



One example, either from Yarkand or Kugiar, appears to pertain to this Japanese species, 

 which is probably nothing more than a local form of the common European C. septempunc- 

 tata, Wesmael. 



CHRYSOPA, sp. 



One from Karghalik near Yarkand, 29th May. 



Allied to C. milgaris, but distinct. It would be injudicious to describe it as new from 

 this single example, especially as it belongs to a section of the genus in which the characters 

 are so little obvious.

3 5,4 9 , Leh, in August. 



Brownish-testaceous above, yellowish-testaceous beneath. Head small ; eyes very pro- 

 minent; ocelli very large, those of the disk encircled with fuscous, with which colour the anterior 

 margins of the disk are bordered ; hairs blackish ; the posterior warts not prominent : on the 

 face the raised lateral margins have two large, oval, prominent warts, furnished with blackish 

 hairs, and there are four smaller warts forming the corners of a quadrangle on the median 

 portion ; labrum very long (for the genus) ; maxillary palpi ordinary, the basal joint very 

 short, the two others ( ) gradually clavate ; a large and prominent triangular horny lobe 

 at the base of the maxillae ; labial palpi small, the second joint broadly triangular. Antennae 

 rather shorter than the wings, moderately slender, testaceous, with rather broad, brownish 

 annulations on the upper side. Pronotum well developed, its anterior edge semi-circular 

 with a median excision ; the disk is concave, but the edges are thickened and raised and 

 clothed with long fuscous hairs. Meso- and metanota broadly fuscous or blackish at the 

 sides. Legs testaceous, moderately stout ; spines deep black ; anterior and intermediate tibiae 

 with a conspicuous fuscous semi-annulation in the middle and at the apex externally ; tarsal 

 joints slightly fuscescent at the tips externally. Abdomen fuscescent above, testaceous 

 beneath. Anterior wings broad, the apex elongately parabolic or elliptical : pale brownish- 

 grey with numerous very indistinct paler spots, the membrane very finely granulose, with 

 minute fuscous hairs ; the hairs on the neuration short and fine, fuscous ; in the narrow area 

 below the inferior branch of the upper cubitus, and in the post-costal basal cellules and area, 

 are longer black hairs arranged somewhat in tufts, and at the extreme base are a few longer 

 brown erect hairs ; the costal margin (in the J only) near the base is turned under for a 

 space of about 4 mm., forming a deep narrow groove on the under side, filled with black 

 hairs and conspicuously dark : neuration rather strong, testaceous ; radius sharply bent
