19481 Banks — Chrysopidae 169 
Nodita maculata Nav. 
From Vergel, Chiapas, 18 May; Villa Tabasco, 16 June. 
Nodita punctata Bks. 
From Yagalaxi, Sierra Juarez, Oaxaca, 29 Dec.; Ver- 
gel, Chiapas, 21, 26 May. Chrysopa salleana Nav., ac- 
cording to the Smith Notes, appears to be a synonym. 
Nodita alloneura Bks. 
From Esperanza, Chiapas, 30 May. 
Genus Leucochrysa 
Leucochrysa pretiosa Bks. 
From Vergel, Chiapas, 19 May. 
Genus Meleoma 
Hagen (1861) described a Chrysopa innovata from 
Mexico. The type is in the Berlin Museum; I saw it in 
1912, and noted it was a Meleoma, with a process between 
and below antennae shorter than in our northern M. signo- 
retti. 
Banks (1899) described Meleoma mexicana from Mexico 
City, and later placed it (incorrectly) a synonym of 
innovata. 
Navas (1914) described Chrysopa dolichartha from Gua- 
temala; a female with extremely slender basal joint 
of antenna. The Smith notes say it is a Meleoma. 
Navas (1928) described Meleoma titschacki from Costa 
Rica. 
In the Dampf material are two species, both taken in 
Mexico City, two males and four females. The two males 
differ in the structure of head ; one male and two females 
have a pair of short parallel red lines near the center of 
vertex. Navas says of titschacki that a “ stria sanguinea 
longitudinali in vertice et occipite juxta oculos.” The 
dolichartha has a much more elongate basal antennal 
joint than in any I have seen. So both of the Navas 
names do not apply to the Dampf material.
