tains numerous Old World species (Tjeder, 1966, Holzel, 1970) 
but is not so important in the New World, where it is represented 
in North America by M. perfectus (Banks, 1895), {Chrysopa ) , 
n. comb., M. luctuosus (Banks, 1911), (Chrysopa) , n. comb., and 
two undescribed species. 
Navas referred M. stigmatus, delmasinus and verticalis to this 
genus. Their synonymy follows. 
Mallada basalis (Walker), new combination 
Chrysopa basalis Walker 1853: 239. 
Synonyms : 
Anisochrysa paradoxa Nakahara 1955: 145; Adams 1959:25. 
Mallada stigmatus Navas 1925:24; Banks 1937:285. New synonymy. 
Type: “Formosa, Taihorin, III-10. H. Sauter S.G. Mallada stig- 
matus Nav., P. Navas S.J. det., Type.” Male, Berlin Museum (ex- 
amined). 
Mallada delmasinus Navas 1935:57; Esben-Petersen 1937: 57. New 
synonymy. Type: “Museum Paris, lies Marquises, P. Simeon Delmas 
1924, Mallada delmasinus Nav., Navas S.J. det., Type”, male. Eleven 
additional specimens with the same data in Paris Museum (ex- 
amined). 
It is interesting that in 1927 Navas noted the sexual dimorphism 
in describing C. delmasi (female) and C. delmasi var. densata 
(male) from precisely the same locality and collector as material 
of M. delmasinus ; the former species was synonymized with M . 
basalis by Esben-Petersen in 1937. 
Another new synonym of M. basalis is C. jolyana Navas 1910: 
194. The type, in the Paris Museum, is labeled “Port Sandwich, 
Nouv-Hebrides, lie Mailicols, Dr. Joly 1903”; “Chrysopa jolyana 
Nav. (in Navas’ hand)”. It is a teneral female; the specimen I 
described (Adams 1959:27) is male, with the incompletely developed 
sclerotization of the genitalia typical of teneral specimens. 
Suarius figuralis (Banks), new combination 
Chrysopa figuralis Banks 1915: 626. Type: “Chosica, Peru 2800'. 10-VI, 
Parish, col.” Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard, Type 11984. male (examined). 
Synonym : 
Mallada verticalis Navas 1929: 19. New synonymy. Type: “Museum 
Paris, Perou Merid., Arequipa, Dr. E. Escomel 1922, Mallada 
verticalis Nav., P. Navas S. J. det., type” (examined). A single 
faded and wrinkled female, probably from alcohol, appears the 
same as the relatively common S. figuralis. Probably the specimen 
was assigned to Mallada because the stigma has been rendered 
opaque by preservation.
