NOTES ON NEARGTIC NEUROPTERA 
By F. M. Carpenter 
Since the publication of my revision of the Nearctic Hemero- 
biidae and related Neuroptera, 1 several collections of these in- 
sects have been sent to me for identification. Notes on the 
most interesting and unusual species are included here. I am 
indebted to the entomologists mentioned below for the oppor- 
tunity of examining this additional material. 
Family Hemeroriim; 
Kimminsia involuta Carp. 
In the Cornell University collection there are four speci- 
mens (39) of this species collected in North Carolina 
(“N.C.”) by F. Sherman, Jr. Involuta has previously been 
known only from western Canada, Idaho, Wyoming and Colo- 
rado. In all probability these specimens were found in the 
mountainous (western) part of N. Carolina, the insect fauna 
of which has several other species and genera in common with 
that of the north-western states. 
Megalomus mcestus Banks 
Several specimens ( $ $ ) were collected in the Black Hills, 
South Dakota (July 20, 1939) by D. J. and J. N. Knull (Ohio 
State University collection). The most eastern record of moes- 
tus has previously been at Laramie, Wyoming. 
Sympherobius angustus (Banks) 
One female was collected in the Chirichua Mts., Arizona 
(July 15, 1939, D. J. and J. N. Knull); it is the first record 
of angustus in that state. 
Sympherobius arizonicus Banks 
The 9 type has previously been the only specimen of this 
insect known to me. In the Ohio State University collection 
there are three additional specimens from the Santa Rita Mts.,
