 Thoracis vitta lata utrinque, lineaaue mediana angusta, necnon abdominis

 brunneo-semi-annulatis : ungues simplices. Alee vice latce, ad apicem ro- 

 tundatce, hyalines ; vencs venulcsque albida?, regulariter nigro-punctatcs :

Hab. in Texas. In coll. auct. 



Pale yellow. Head : vertex with four longitudinal brown lines, the two middle 

 ones longer than the outer, and slightly interrupted ; a small brown V _sna P e, i 

 spot between the antennae, and a brown line on the basal joint of the 

 latter : front varied with brown, and with an elongate black spot on each cheek. 

 Palpi yellow, broadly annulated with black. Antennas brownish, the basal 

 portion yellow. Thorax yellow, with a very broad brown stripe along each side, 

 and a narrow median line, which is most evident on the prothorax. Abdomen 

 yellow (that of the female much dilated), with numerous, more or less 

 confluent, brown spots along the back. Legs whitish, with short blackish 

 hairs ; femora with a black spot internally at the apex ; claws simple. 



Wings rather narrow, the apex rounded, hyaline ; veins and veinlets whitish, all 

 (excepting the radius, which is wholly pale) with regular tuberculated black 

 dots, from each of which springs a short blackish hair ; pterostigma rather 

 long, dirty yellowish : third cubital cellule of the anterior wings as in 0. sep- 

 terrupuncbata. 



I have two $ and one $ of this, collected in Bosqne County, 

 Texas, in summer, by Mr. G. W. Belfrage. It is remarkable for the 

 regular punctuation of the neuration, as ordinarily in Ohrysopa this is 

 entirely pale or dark, or with black spaces only at the two ends of each 

 nervule.

 medio albidas) nigris : anticarum cellulce cubitalis tertice venida separans 

 venulce transversali superpositce cequalis. Long. corp. 3l>'" ; exp. alar. 9'".
