BANKS: NEW NEUROPTEROID INSECTS. 349 



till near middle where they are rather darker; palpi pale, with brown hair; 

 thorax with mostly brown hair, but each side above near middle is a streak of 

 yellowish hair. Abdomen dark brown; legs pale brown, the tibiae rather 

 darker, the tarsal joints are pale on bases, most broadly on middle tarsi, spurs 

 dark, 2-2-4. Wings dark, clothed with golden and brownish hair, fringe 

 brown, but there are a few pale spots in the apical fringe. In the male the 

 ventral spine is yellowish, very slender, and slightly rounded at tip. Wings 

 slender as in H. borealis, in fore wings fourth fork is long and almost reaches 

 the anastomosis. 

 Expanse 10-11 mm. 



HELICOPSYCHE PERUANA, sp. nov. 



TYPE. M. C. Z. 10,905. Peru: Natucana, 7,788 ft., 14 June 

 (H. S. Parish). 



Brown; head with brown and some yellowish hair on warts of vertex; basal 

 joints of antennae dark, with some brown, and long yellowish hair, beyond the 

 antennae are dark, the joints narrowly pale at base; palpi pale, with brown 

 hair; hair of thorax largely brown; abdomen dark; legs pale brownish, 

 femora mostly with white hair, tibiae darker, tarsi pale on bases of joints, the 

 mid tarsi broadly so, spurs dark brown. Wings dark, with golden and brown 

 hair, fringe brown, nearly black at tip of the wing; hind wings with black hair 

 and fringe. In male the ventral spine is quite broad at base, triangular, with 

 almost pointed tip. Wings slender as in H. borealis; in fore wings the fourth 

 fork has a pedicel nearly one third its own length. 



Expanse 11 mm. 



GOERA OCTOSPINA, Sp. HOV. 



TYPE. M. C. Z. 10,883. Philippines Luzon: Nueva Vizcaya; 

 Imugin (C. F. Baker). 



Yellowish, clothed with bright yellow hair; maxillary palpi recurved, with 

 rows of jellow hair each side, labial palpi with last two joints long and sub- 

 equal; basal joint of antennae long, with long, bright yellow hair. Wings 

 clothed with bright yellow hair, especially along the veins. Venation very 

 similar to G. longispina, but the enlarged smooth space above anastomosis is 

 larger and more rounded above, the third fork is not pedicellate; in the hind 

 wings all the apical forks are longer and more slender. On the sixth ventral 

 segment there is a slender median process and each side of it four slender spines; 

 the male genitalia from above resemble those of G. longispina, but the median 

 spines are less long, the process at tip of lateral appendages is larger, and the 

 lateral processes from near base are also larger than in that species. 



Expanse 21 mm.
