416 CLASS VIII. 



Scorpion-fly. A. BRANTS has given an anatomical survey of this little 



animal in the Tijdschr. voor not. Gesch. en Physiol. vi. 1839, bl. 173 198, 



PI. VII. The pupa is concealed underground; it has been described and 



figured by F. STEIN, WIEGMANN'S Archiv, 1838, s. 330. Taf. 7, figs. 10 13. 



The larva, with its mode of life and its residence, is still unknown. 



B. Ocelli none. Wings imperfect, in males subulate, in 

 females very short, rotundate. 



Boreus LATR. (Female with triarticulate ovipositor, encased 

 beneath in a bilobed lamella.) 



Sp. Boreus Jiyemalis, Panorpa Jiyemalis L., Gryllus proboscideus PANZER, 

 Dewtschl. Ins. Heft 23, Tab. 18 ; GUERIN, Iconogr. Ins. PI. 61, fig. 4. 



Note. Genus Chorista KLUG, resembling Panorpa in habit and 

 characters, differs from it in the head not being produced into a 

 rostrum. Species from New Holland.

Family XXX. Hemerobmi. Head moderate or small, trans- 

 verse, with eyes prominent. Mandibles distinct. Mandibles deeply 

 bilobate, with external lobe often palpiform, articulate. Ligula 

 distinct. Labial palps triarticulate. Wings reticulate, with nume- 

 rous transverse nervures, mostly deflected. Antennae always com- 

 posed of many joints, in length very different. 



Raphidia L. (in part). Palps short, filiform, maxillary quin- 

 quearticulate. Antennae filiform, short. Prothorax elongate, nar- 

 row, subcylindrical. Third joint of tarsi bilobed, receiving the 

 minute fourth joint between the lobes, fifth elongate, terminated by 

 double claw. Abdomen of female furnished with ovipositor, exsert, 

 flexible. 



Camel-fly. These insects live in the state of pupa and nymph under the 

 bark of trees ; the nymph begins to move shortly before the last meta- 

 morphosis. Comp. A. PERCHERON, Mem. sur les Raphidies in GUERIN, 

 Magasin de Zoologie, 1833, Cl. ix. PI. 66; FR. STEIN in WIEGMANN'S 

 Archiv, 1838, s. 316 330 ; G. T. SCHNEIDER, Monographia generis 

 Raphidice, adjectis tabul. vm. Vratislavise, 1843, 4to. 



LINNAEUS united the European specimens known to him into one 

 species, Raphidia ophiopis. Modern writers distinguish different species ; 

 in most, three simple eyes are present ; in one species, first described by 

 SCHUMMEL, Raph. crassicornis, they are wanting ; of this species, SCHNEIDER, 

 op. tit., forms a separate genus, Inocettia.
