able to find the type specimen in the Museum collection, but I have 
been able to use a good photograph of it made by Professor Carpenter 
in 1938. The venational pattern can be worked out from this photo- 
graph satisfactorily, although the color pattern given in the figure 
is only approximate. 
Fore wing: length 55 mm, width 19 mm; anterior and posterior 
margins nearly parallel for the basal two-thirds of the wing; apical 
part slightly elongate and narrow; anterior margin very slightly 
concave, posterior margin convex at the CuP area; anal area mod- 
erately rounded; costal area broad at the base, abruptly narrowed 
distally; Rs with six branches, the first forking; MA with a long 
simple fork, MP with seven branches; CuA forked four times, CuP 
with a series of three branches; anal area with seven branches, Ai 
forked five times. 
This species differs from all related members of the genus in 
having more numerous branches on Rs and in having CuA forked 
several times. It differs from lacroixi by the narrowed apical part 
of the wing. 
The following genus, Compsoneura, is tentatively placed in the 
family Fouqueidae. As pointed out below, the absence of detailed in- 
formation about the structure of the species in this genus prevents a 
satisfactory determination of its family affinities. 
Genus Compsoneura Brongniart 
Compsoneura Brongniart, 1893: 334 ( pro Zeilleria Brongniart, 1885: 63; 
nec Zeilleria Bayle, 1878); Handlirsch, 1906: 104; Lameere, 1917: 149. 
Type species: Compsoneura fusca (Brongniart) (SD, Handlirsch, 
1906). 
This genus was established by Brongniart for two species, fusca 
and formosa , both based on hind wings. It has previously been placed 
in the family Spilapteridae. However, in the spilapterids, both MA 
and CuA are usually richly branched, while CuP tends to be simple; 
the cross veins are usually not very numerous, and are rarely anas- 
tomosed. In the fouqueids, on the other hand, MA and CuA usually 
have only 1-2 branches; CuP, so far as known, is always branched, 
and the cross veins are very dense and very often anastomosed. The 
venation of Compsoneura seems more like that of the hind wings of 
the fouqueids (e.g., Fouquea superba ) than it does that of the spil- 
apterids; also the color pattern is very suggestive of that of Neo-
