BANKS: NEW NEUROPTEROID INSECTS. 345 



ANABOLIA CURTA, sp. nov. 

 TYPE. M. C. Z. 10,874. Massachusetts (Hagen coll.). 



Black; legs and antennae yellowish; head with black hair below, yellowish 

 above; basal joint of antennae with golden hair; legs with black spines; be- 

 tween ocelli and eyes, and on middle of the mesothorax the surface is sericeous. 

 Fore wings blackish, rather densely spotted with small patches of pale hairs, 

 especially noticeable at the outer margin, and just before the posterior anasto- 

 mosis; hind wings scarcely darkened. In general closely similar to A. mutatus 

 Hagen, but the marking near upper anastomosis is scarcely distinct. The 

 male has the upper appendages as in A. mutatus, but the lower pair are much 

 shorter and not strongly mucronate (as in A. mutatus). It is a slightly smaller 

 species. 



Expanse 26 mm. 



ANISOGAMUS EDWARDSI, sp. nov. 



TYPE. M. C. Z. 10,881. Calif.: Marin Co. (Henry Edwards, 

 James Behrens). 



Black, with black bristles; some hairs on the vertex, pronotum, thorax, 

 middle of face, and lower part of head are yellowish. Palpi pale, in the male 

 not especially long. Antennae black, crenulate below; ocelli of moderate size, 

 no ocellar bristles. Abdomen with a pale streak on the sides and parts of 

 genitalia pale. Legs pale, femora mostly black, spines black, tibia I spined

 not very distinct, the bristles on veins near the base of wings are long. Hind 

 wings pale yellowish. Venation about as usual ; radius not bent at the stigma, 

 fork I only a short distance back on the cell, fork III almost as far back, 

 discal cell much longer than its pedicel; posterior anastomosis oblique, con- 

 tinuous; hyaline spot on arculus and thyridium.

 Crotch).
