Tillyakd. — A neir specie’s of Apoo)iwi)}ged Lacewing. 
liindwiiig's, ■\vliicli measuie 40 inin. as against about 25 mm. fov 
Ch. linfti; tliis lattoi* s])ecit’s, liowover, has larg^'v dilatations. Tiu? 
uiii(jue spocimon of tlio now sjjoeios is almost oomjjloto, but its 
antoiinae and ])ortions of its logs are missing; tho hindwings have 
]>oon. brohoi?^ off lovol with tlio end of the* abdomon and again at the 
constrictions botw(‘on tho two expanded portions, the apical part 
of 01)0 of them lioing absent. The spociimm is mounted on its side, 
on cardboard, with llio liindwings glued down in line with the 
abdomen ; in order to save sjiace in figuring, the distal portion 
lias })ooi\ ligU''(.‘d as if cut off and jilacoil botweon forowing and 
stalk of liind. In glueing down the middle broken portions, these 
l>arts have evidently become tunu'd ovei*, as a careful exaniinntio-i 
of tlie venation shows that the apparently anterior portion of tho 
first dilatation contains tlie veins M and Hs, while the a]>parentiv 
posterior ])ortion contains Sc. This ]iart has, however, been left 
as mounted in the figure, tlie veins lieing labelled. The amount 
of twisting betwi'en tlu' two lolies cannot lie stated, owing to the 
break at tlie constriction and the flattening down of the lobes when 
mounted. 
As this wonderful insect is probably attracted by light, further 
spe(dineiis ought to be obtained if a careful look-out were kejit for 
it in and around Cniiderdin. Unfortnnat(dy the date of capture is 
not given.
