38 Mr. R. M'Lachlan on the Neuropterous Genus 



Wings rather broad, greyish, subhyaline, clouded with darker 

 grey, especially in the apical half, with a large, elongate, 

 blackish-fuscous spot on each side of the pale pterostigmatical 

 region, and with blackish-fuscous spots in the subcostal area ; 

 costal veinlets curved, strong, blackish fuscous ; longitudinal 

 veins blackish fuscous ; transverse veinlets of the disk few, 

 fine, and pale : the coloration of the posterior wings almost 

 precisely identical with that of the anterior. 



Allied to C. japonicus and C. Boivnngi, more closely to the 

 former, but apparently distinct. 



Chauliodes tenuis, n. sp. 



C. griseo-testaceus. Antennae maris simplices. Prothorax elon- 

 gatns, capite angustior. Abdomen nigricans, appendicibus su- 

 perioribus elongato-conicalibus, inferioribus fere obsoletis. Pedes 

 ochracei, genibus tarsisque fuscescentibus. Alee antic£e angustae, 

 griseo-subhyalinse, conferte griseo notatae, punctis tribus griseo 

 suffusis inter sectorem et cubitum posticum nigricantibus : 

 posticae byalinae, punctis duobus inter sectorem et cubitum nigri- 

 cantibus is). Long. corp. 11'" ; exp. alar. 26'".
