!945] Chrysopidae of Central America 163 
bordered with brown; outer gradates and some of the inner row, 
most of the marginal forks at base and sometimes the last two 
or three of the branches of cubitus are brown; some of the 
costals, radials, and cubitals are usually partly brown; stigma 
brown at base. In hind wings the cross-veins and gradates 
mostly pale, sometimes one or two of the marginal forks 
dark, the radial sector is faintly dark toward the stigma and 
latter brown at base; the tip of wing has a prominent brown 
spot. 
The pronotum is broader behind than long and with a median 
depressed line. In the fore wings the costal area (at broadest) 
is about as wide as the postcubital area, not as broad as the 
radial area; basal side of divisory cell moderately oblique and 
about one half to two fifths of the outer side; seven cubitals 
beyond divisory, all the cells longer than high; gradates usu- 
ally five or six in each row, the rows parallel, but not very near 
each other, the branches of radial sector much bent at inner 
gradates; several cross-veins in subcostal stigmal area, many 
in costal area. 
In hind wings usually four or five inner, five or six outer 
gradates, nearly parallel, seven cubital cross-veins. 
Length fore wing 13 mm., width 4.5 mm.
