nervure is bullated on the lower side, but not strongly. Legs fulvous ; 

 all the C0X8B and trochanters, almost the apical half of the hinder 

 femora, and the apical third of the posterior tibife, black ; the hinder 

 tarsi have a more yellowish paler hue, and are black at the base. 

 Abdomen black and shining : all the segments are banded with yellow 

 at the apex ; the ventral surface, except the petiole, pale yellow. 



This is an Osprynchotus, Spin., sec. Ashmead, non Kriech- 

 baumer, which equals Linoceras, Tasch. The genus is new for 

 the Indian fauna.

NOTES ON NEUROPTERA OF OXON AND BERKS. 



By W. J. Lucas, B.A., F.E.S. 



Eecently I received for inspection from Messrs. W. Holland 

 and A. H. Hamm a box of Neuroptera (other than Odonata) 

 collected in Berks and Oxon, Insects of this order are so 

 seldom recorded that the list will probably prove of interest to 

 those who are working at them. I have to thank Mr. C. A. 

 Briggs for assisting very greatly in naming the specimens, 

 especially the more obscure ones.
