Banks — Western Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) 
Lolochrysa subgen. n. 
A species (male) I described in 1903 as Eremochrysa hageni from 
Texas was, I noted, different from the other forms. I now see that 
the male has the lower process at the tip of abdomen long, slender, 
upcurved, and at tip has only short fine hairs, none of the short, 
reclinate bristles of the normal Eremochrysa . The hairs on pro- 
notum are longer and white and that on the abdomen is also long 
and chiefly white. The raised area on the vertex occupies almost 
the whole vertex. There is none of the dotting of the veins, these 
being dark only at connections ; the tip of the wings is very broadly 
rounded. In the female there is no median spot on the clypeus. 
For E. hageni and related forms I propose a new subgenus — 
Lolochrysa , with E. hageni as type. 
Table of Species of Lolochrysa 
1. Antennae without marks on first and second joints; no face 
marks, except a black dot between antennae, and faintly on 
sides of clypeus; palpi pale, unmarked calif ornica Bks. 
Antennae have the basal joints with lines on side or broad 
upper surface brown or darker, palpi mostly black (except 
pima ) 2 
2. Upper surface of basal joint almost wholly brown 4 
Upper surface of basal joint largely pale, but a black line. ...3 
3. Pronotum mostly white, a deep black spot (quite large) in 
middle of front margin, another at each hind corner; palpi 
mostly black spilota sp. nov. 
Pronotum brown, with a black line across, connecting three 
small black spots ; palpi mostly pale pima sp. nov. 
4. Costal cross-vein almost wholly pale, dark only at sub-costal 
end; costa also very pale, unmarked; fourth and fifth seg- 
ments above pale, with dark preapical band...... hageni Bks. 
Costal cross-veins wholly dark, and costa also somewhat 
darkened 5 
5. Upper edge of the abdominal process bordered with black, 
many cross-veins bordered ; but three branches of radial 
sector reach the outer border of wing; hair on abdomen white 
and rather short, pronotum narrowed in front. .yosemite sp. nov. 
No dark border to process; cross-veins not bordered, fine;
