reddish spot above and near the 
II ee \ eye often present. Prothorax al- 
; most as long as broad, with round- 
ed front angles and sometimes 
with reddish lateral margins. An- 
tennae pale, but a little darker 
towards apex. Claws with rather 
2a broad dent-shaped dilatationat base. 
: The specimen from Easter 
Island is a mature one; with red- 
dish cheeks, reddish streak along 
the lateral margins of prothorax, 
and with a reddish spot on the 
posterior part of the vertex near the eye. Its antennae are strongly brownish 
coloured in their apical part. In other respects it agrees very well with con-

Chrysopa Skottsbergi n. sp. 
Yellowish (greenish in life). Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs 
yellowish. Antennae at least as long as the forewing, yellowish at base and 
becoming dark brown towards apex; basal joint rather robust and with a 
distinct dark brown rectangular spot near tip dorsally. At each side of clypeus 
an indistinct brownish spot. Prothorax broader than long and with truncate 
front angles. Abdomen with a rather long, pale pilosity. Claws with a strong 
dent at base. Wings rather short and broad, and obtuse at apex. Venation 
pale and with short hairs. Gradate veins 
and a few crossveins at base in the fore- 
wings somewhat darker. Pterostigma (espe- 
cially in the hindwings) large, conspicuous, 
brownish yellow and opaque. At the 
origin of Cz in the forewing a small brown- 
ish spot. J7, and M, coalesce beyond 
the first crossvein between Rs and JV,

Q—II crossveins, in the hindwing 8—10; eS 
between As and J7 in forewing 4 crossveins. TLE

date veins in the wings rather broad. 
Length of forewing 10—11 mm, that of hindwing 9—10 mm. Four speci- 
mens from Easter Island, June (BACKSTROM leg.). 
The species is easily recognized by its short and broad wings, and by 
the large and conspicuous pterostigma.
