AUSTRALIAN NEUROPTERA V.* 
(By P. Esben-Petersen, Silkeborg.) 
In a small collection of Ant-lions, sent me by Mr. 
L. Franzen, Brisbane, I had the great pleasure to meet 
with a new species, of which I give a description below. 
I -thank Mr. L. Framzen very much, that he has given me 
the opportunity to see the material, because Australian 
Neuropterous insects are only rather seldom met with, 
and I know very well that much work has yet to be done 
before the Australian Neuropteroid-fauna is tolerably 
explored. 
G-lenoleon Franzeni, n.sp. 
Face yellowish, palpi greyish yellow with paler join- 
ings; between the eyes a broad jet black band, enclosing 
the insertion of the antennae. Above this band a narrow 
yellowish cross-band. Vertex reddish yellow with black 
markings. Antennae, black with narrow yellowish join- 
ings iit their basal third part ; the club oblong, rather in- 
conspicuous. Prothorax a little longer than broad, 
black, and with five interrupted longtitudinal streaks, 
formed by oblong yellowish spots. Meso and metathorax 
black with small yellowish markings. Abdomen shorter 
than hind wings, black with small yellowish markings. 
On. the most segments dorsally and ventrally. Legs 
rather long and slender. Fore and intermediate 
femora blackish brown, hind femora pale at base and 
with a pale band near apex. Fore and intermediate 
tibiae black with three yellowish bands; hind tibiae yel- 
lowish, with a dark band at apex and another near base. 
Tarsi almost as long as tibiae, black; first and second 
joint partly yellowish ; first tarsal joint almost as long 
ns fifth; spurs hardly as long as first joint. Wings rather 
broad. Fore wings strongly irrorated ; hind wings 
hyaline in their two basal thirds, and with a broad and 
rather irregular black pterostigmatical cross band; apical 
part of hind wings with a lacteous tinge, and with a black 
mark at fore margin of the wing. At base of hind wing 
a “pelote” in the male sex. Venation of fore wings 
blackish ; a few cross veins and parts of some longitudinal 
veins whitish. In the hind wings the venation is partly 
blackish and partly whitish.
