much useful information concerning the phylogeny of the 
Chrysopidae. The archaic expression of these characters 
in the Recent genera Dictyochrysa, Triplochrysa, and 
Pimachrysa indicates that they constitute an extremely 
primitive, although not necessarily closely related, as- 
semblage, similar in many respects to the Miocene genera. 
The writer gratefully acknowledges the kindness of 
Prof. F. M. Carpenter in making possible the examination 
of fossil Chrysopidae from the collection of the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology.
