Chrysopa pinalena sp. nov. 
Head rather short and broad, pale ; directly below the antennal 
sockets is a transverse dark brown band from eye to eye, it bends 
upward in the middle, below it on the clypeal edge is another and 
similar band, almost as broad, reaching from eye to eye, and also 
bent up in the middle, a little more than the upper band; below this 
in the middle is a short, slightly down-curved brown band. At each 
end of both complete bands the dark is enlarged. In the specimen 
figured the antennae are strongly thrown back, in one with the 
antennae porrect, the upper band is almost hidden. Palpi black, 
with pale tips to the joints ( except last) ; antennae (including sec- 
ond joint) pale, unmarked. Vertex rufous, and somewhat swollen 
in middle, leaving only a very narrow groove between it and the 
eyes. Pronotum narrowed in front, longer than broad, at least a 
little; pale in middle, dark on sides, broadly so behind; also the 
meso- and metanotum pale in middle, the lateral lobes dull black. 
Legs pale, unmarked. 
Abdomen pale below, and mostly on the sides ; above with several 
segments toward base with a large dark mark, sometimes the marks 
hardly distinct. 
Fore wings with anals black, the subcostal vein toward, but not 
at base and the upper side of third cubital cell dark, other veins 
slightly darkened, but often only at bases of hairs ; gradates no 
darker than others. 
Stigmal area darkened for a long space, and with five to seven 
subcostal cross-veins ; twenty-four or twenty-five costals, twelve 
radials, four or five inner, and six to eight outer gradates, sub- 
parallel, the inner as near radial sector as to outer, seven branches 
of radial sector reach outer margin. Divisory cell slender, ending 
much beyond the cross-vein above, seven cubitals beyond the cell. 
Hind wing very similar, with seven branches of radial sector to 
margin, and one or two fewer gradates. Length of fore wing, 13.5 
mm. ; width, 4 mm.
