13. Panorpa venosa Westw. 
This species may also be two-brooded. Raleigh (E-C), 
middle of September to middle of October, Brimley. Southern 
Pines (S-E-C), June, Manee. 
14. Panorpa virginica Banks. 
Until I sent Mr. Banks a series of this species from our 
western (mountain) section, he had seen it only from the 
vicinity of Washington, D.C. My records include four rather 
widely different mountain localities. The records indicate the 
possibility of two broods. Hendersonville (W), June, Sher- 
man. Highlands (S-W), early in September, Woglum and 
Sherman. Boone (N-W), August, Sherman. Blowing Rock 
(N-W), August, Sherman.

from the costa to a little above the inner margin, and preceded by a 
slight brown shade. Basal dash black, scarcely extending to the middle

extending to the basal dash. Transverse posterior line black, narrow 
to the lower inflection, where it is broad. Tooth opposite the cell rather 
long, followed by a very short tooth; thence the line is almost even and 
somewhat concave in its course to the lower inflection. Subterminal 
line dentate, somewhat paler than the ground color, distinct, but not

margin. Subapical shade very vague or absent. Reniform brown, disk 
and outline pale. Subreniform rounded, resting on the reniform; brown 
and partly or wholly black-ringed. On the costa near the middle is a 
black mark. Hind wings yellow. Median band black, somewhat angu- 
late, irregular, and meeting a black basal shade at the inner margin.
