Neuropteroid Insects

clothed with long hair, especially long on the legs ; fore wings 
nearly hyaline, slightly gray, veins brown, veins and margin 
with short hair, membrane with very minute hairs; hind 
wings similar. Fore wings slender, radius not bent at origin 
of radial sector, only one or two costal cross-veins and these 
near tip ; no cross-vein beyond end of subcosta, none of apical 
veins forked, and all subparallel. Hind wings with subcosta 
ending before middle of wing, lower branch of medius with 
a long fork. 
Pronotum a little broader than long, sides parallel. Setae 
with seven joints (possibly have been more) , all but the basal 
two elongate, longer than in related forms. 
The male has the long median piece (in the only male) 
projecting behind, but probably normally recurved. 
Fore wing 6 mm. long. 
From Morgantown, N. Car. (Morrison), mixed in with 
specimens returned from a loan as “Leuctra spp.”. Type 
M.C.Z. No. 22662. 
ORDER NEUROPTERA 
Family Chrysopidae 
Abachrysa gen. nov. 
Body broad and heavy; antennae close together at base, 
not as long as wings ; pronotum about twice as broad as long ; 
fore wings with divisory cell much as in Nodita, six cubital 
cross-veins beyond it; costal area only moderately broad; 
the branches from cubitus to hind margin are in pairs, the 
two from each cell close together at base, or often united in 
one stem ; the cross-vein from subcosta to radius is nearly as 
far out as base of divisory cell ; the second cubital cell no 
longer than the first. 
In the hind wing there is no trace of the triangle between 
base of radial sector and the medius, the radial sector, ap- 
parently, is here united to the upper median vein. 
Genotype, Chrysopa eureka Bks. 
It differs from Chrysopa and many other genera in the 
broad pronotum, in the short second cubital cell, in the 
paired branches of cubitus to margin, etc. Besides the type 
specimen from Arkansas, I have one collected by Prof. Frank 
Hull at Agricultural College, Miss.
