NEW CHRYSOPID^E FROM AUSTRALIA 
By Nathan Banks 
In Psyche vol. XVII, pp. 99 to 104, 1910, 1 described twelve 
new species of Australian Chrysopidse, nine belonging* to the 
genus Chrysopa as it has been used (though wrongly) for 
many years. I now add five new species, and give a new syn- 
optic table for them. 
Of those I have not seen are two that I consider dis- 
tinct, extranea E. Petersen which I can place in the key from 
his figure of the wings, and per sonata Navas which, accord- 
ing to his figure, has quite different facial marks from any 
seen by me. 
Three of the Navasian species, deutera, reaumeri, and 
notosticta have been placed by E. Petersen as synonyms of 
Ch. ramburi, and I believe correctly. 
Ch. assimilata does not appear, from description, to differ 
from Ch. innotata. 
The species described by Tillyard from Norfolk Island 
cannot be placed from his figures and descriptions until one 
has fresh material from that island ; C. leai goes in the sec- 
tion of edwardsi and extranea , possibly also C. arancarise. 
It would not be unusual if some of them occur in Australia, 
but I cannot fit any of the five new species described below 
to any of them. Ch. olatatis Bks. is possibly a male of Ch. 
latotalis, but of the many males of latotalis I have seen none 
that have the pale, slightly yellowish stripe from back of head 
along middle of thorax ; the outward appearance of the geni- 
talia is the same, but in olatatis (seen from behind) there is 
a plate above the edge of the last ventral segment with a 
straight upper margin, I do not see this in latotalis; olatatis 
is from Port Darwin, all the latotalis I have seen are from 
middle and north Queensland. Ch. latotalis is very similar 
to Ch. basalis , but without the dark mark on basal antennal 
joint; the external genitalia and the stigma appear the same.
