1886.] 291 [Hagen. 



some transversals brown, but all less strong than by H. dipterus ; 

 wings twice as long as abdomen ; hind wings a little shorter ; ti- 

 biae fusiform. 



Hab. Greece from Krueper, now in the Museum of Berlin. 



Dr. Fr. Stein, in 1863, had the kindness to send to me all his Neu- 

 roptera from Greece for determination. As Stein was at this time 

 the only possessor of an excellent pair of H. dipterus, now in the 

 Museum of Berlin, I asked him to compare the species from Greece 

 with H. dipterus. He answered (Nov. 20, 1863) that Micromus 

 pamilio is distinctly different, if both species are compared, in the 

 colors of the head and antennae, and in the venation. 



I have, therefore, no doubt that M. pumilio is a good species, 

 Brauer, 1. c, has quoted it with a ? under H. dipterus. 



16. Micromus Tasmaniae. 



Hemerobius Tasmaniae Walker, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., ser. 2, v, 



186— M'Lachl., Ann. Mag. N. H., July, 1873, p. 39. 



Long. corp. 5 mm. ; exp. al. 14 mm. 



(Walker's description.) 



Mas. et fern. — Testaces, capite fulvo, fascia vitta punctisque 

 duobus testaceis, thorace lituris fulvis, pedibus albidis, alis angus- 

 tis subvitreis, venis albidis, alis anticis subpubescentibus, venis 

 paucis fuscopunctatis. 



Male and female. Testaceous ; head tawny with a band, a 

 stripe and two points testaceous ; thorax with some tawny marks ; 

 legs whitish ; wings narrow, almost vitreous ; veins whitish ; fore 

 wings minutely pubescent ; few veins, with brown points. 



Hab. Tasmania ; coll. W. W. Saunders, now in the Brit. Mu- 

 seum. I saw the species years ago in Mr. Saunders' collection, 

 but have no specimen before me. 



Mr. M'Lachlan, Ent. M. Mag. vi, 27, says: H. Tasmaniae 

 Walker is a Micromus ; I have seen it from several parts of New 

 Holland, and possess two individuals from New Zealand, which 

 differ only in the rather greater amount of spotting on the veins, 

 and with these more strongly ciliated ; a comparison of an exten- 

 sive series from both quarters will be requisite to prove the iden- 

 tity or distinctness of the two forms.
