Chrysopa margindta Navas ( !) 
Figure 19 
Several specimens of this delicate form with the dis- 
tinct red margins of pronotum; it has the cheek mark 
much as in comanche , but the wings are more slender. 
Hacienda Nainari, Sonora, 10 August, in the desert; 
El Dorado, Sinaloa, 23 Jan.; Cuernavaca, Morelos, 2 
March; and Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, 14 Jan. 1941. Navas 
gives a very brief description of marginata as a variety 
of C. externa; not enough for certainty. 
Chrysopa comanche var. 
About 6 specimens are like comanche , but the gradates 
distinctly dark. Hacienda Nainari, Sonora, 15 Aug.

four from Santa Engracia, Tamaulipas, 2, 3, 20, 25, Feb- 
ruary, 1936. Two other specimens from Santa Engracia, 
3 February, 1936, have green gradates and appear typical 
comanche.
