NEUROPTERA. 
By W. J. Lucas, B.A.. F.E.S. 
in Britain we have between 360 and 370 members of the 
heterogeneous group of insects that are usually put together as 
constituting the natural order Newrvptera—a group of insects 
containing a number of divisions which must ultimately be 
separated into several independent natural orders. Some hundred 
pochi of these insects we might expect at Kew, but so far the list 
—eight species—is a meagre one indeed. They are :—Five gem 
flies—ZEschna cyanea, Müll; Æ. grandis, E ; Pyrrhos 
nymphula, Sulz.; Ischnura elegans, Lind. 4 ; Agrion Rodas aud 
um 9 (?); A. puella, Linn.; Enallagma cyathigerum, Charp ; 
one scorpion fly—Panorpa germanica, Linn. 9, taken in 
Queen 8 Cottage Grounds, 10th June, 1902.
