[December 
In fore wing the gradates are parallel and nearer to each 
other than the outer row to the hind margin, about six in 
each row, those near base widely separated; six (or seven) 
cross-veins beyond the divisory, the latter ends at or just be- 
yond the cross-vein above, the divisory cell twice as long as 
broad ; branches of radial sector little bent at inner gradates ; 
the costal space about as broad as the post-cubital, the latter 
much broader than the cubital area ; costal stigma area with- 
out cross-veins, but one or two beyond. 
In hind wing but two inner and five outer gradates, the 
triangular cell is slender and the free part of medius slopes 
down gradually. 
Pronotum short, much broader than long, the sides slightly 
convex ; hind tibia much swollen. 
Length of fore wing 13.5 mm., width 5 mm.‘

Chrysopa alcines sp. nov. 
Body pale; the clypeus is plainly reddish ; palpi and anten- 
nae pale, unmarked, pronotum also ; a dark spot above base of 
each wing; venation largely green, but in fore wings the 
cubitus from second cubital cell out is plainly brown; the 
outer gradates also brown, and the radials and some costals 
dark in middle ; stigma indistinct. 
The wings are moderately slender, tips rounded, the hairs 
on veins rather long ; in fore wings the costal and post-cubi- 
tal areas about equal in width, the post-cubital about a third 
broader than the cubital area ; seven cross-veins beyond end 
of divisory cell, latter twice as long as broad, ending beyond 
the cross-vein above, second cubital plainly shorter than 
third ; the gradates in nearly parallel series, about five or six 
in each row, inner row extending somewhat basally and is 
generally nearer to radial sector than to outer row; the 
branches of radial sector scarcely bent at inner gradates; 
costal stigmal area without cross-veins. In hind wing three 
inner gradates, one quite far basad, and five outer ; the tri- 
angular cell is small, and the free base of medius curves 
strongly down. 
Pronotum nearly as long as broad, sides parallel; hind 
tibia plainly swollen.
