A LEUCOCHRYSA FROM FLORIDA. 



By Nathan Banks. 



The genus Leticochrysa was erected by McLachlan for certain 

 South American Chrysopas which differed from the typical form 

 in having very much longer antennae, excised labrum and broad 

 wings. Hitherto no species of this genus have been recognized 

 in the United States. It therefore gives me pleasure to present a 

 new species obtained in Florida by that well-known collector, 

 Mrs. A. T. Slosson.
