veins toward base paler brown; in hind wings the gradates only 
faintly brown. 
Pronotum broader behind than long in middle, sides sloping 
forwards. In fore wing the costal area at broadest is not nearly 
as wide as the radial area, latter a little broader than post- 
cubital area, which is scarcely wider than the cubital area; 
three or four inner gradates, seven or eight outer ones, in paral- 
lel series, the inner row nearer to outer than outer to the margin, 
inner arising not far before the last cubital cross-vein; six 
cubitals, beyond divisory, latter ending beyond the cross-vein 
above; the third cubital cell a little longer than the second, and 
plainly broader; twelve radial cross- veins; the costal stigmal 
area hardly one half as broad as the subcostal area, and the 
latter with six or seven cross-veins. Hair on veins very short, 
on the broadest costal cells the hair is not one fourth the width 
of the cell; although several of the costal cells toward base are 
unusually broad; there are the usual seven cross-veins before 
the origin of the radial sector. 
In hind wings three or four inner and seven outer gradates, 
parallel, and near together. 
Length of fore wing 14 mm., width 5 mm.

Chrysopa caligata sp. nov. 
Head pale, unmarked; palpi pale; antennae longer than fore 
wings, pale, first joint with a red stripe above; pronotum 
broader than long in middle; narrowed near front a red stripe 
each side, not quite on margin; rest of thorax and abdomen 
pale, unmarked. 
Fore wings with some costals, radial, cubitals, and branches 
of cubitus dark in middle, or almost wholly dark; gradates 
plainly dark brown; some marginal forkings dark; stigma pale; 
in hind wings outer gradates dark. In fore wings the radial area 
is much broader than the costal area and as broad as the post- 
cubital area, latter about as broad as the costal area; six cubitals 
beyond divisory cell, latter ends plainly beyond cross-vein 
above; three or four inner, and seven or eight outer gradates, 
inner close to and parallel to the outer row; third cubital cell 
as long as second; branches of radial sector scarcely bent at 
inner gradates; hair of moderate length. In hind wings two or
