a list of 35 species of true Neuroptera occurring in Corsica^ dis- 
tributed as follows Hemerobides 10 sp., Ascalaphides 1 sp., 
Myrmeleontides 4 sp., E,aphidides 1 sp., Phryganides 19 sp. 
Several of the species are described as new. 
Hemerobiid^. 
Isoscelipteron (Costa). Brauer (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, Bd. xiv. 
pp. 896-898) characterizes this genus, and remarks on the characters pre- 
sented by the variation of the wings in the Hemerobiidae. Brauer regards 
Walker’s genus Berotha as probably identical with Isoscelipteron) if this 
supposition be cowect, the former name must be adopted. The author de- 
scribes X. ftihum (Costa) = Dasypteryx greeca (Stein) and a new species 
from Pennsylvania. 
Sartena, g. n., Hagen, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e s^r. tome iv. p. 41. Antennae 
moniliform, much shorter than wings,* ocelli 0; last joint of max. palpi 
long, suddenly narrowed, produced and pointed ,* pro thorax short, tibiae cy- 
lindrical ; tarsi with first joint longest; claws simple, with an ovoid pad; 
nervures of wings not numerous, reticulation resembling that of Chrysopa. 
Sp. Sartena amoena, Hagen, 1. c. p. 41, from Corsica. 
AtikylopteryXy g. n., Brauer, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, Bd. xiv. p. 
899. Allied to Chrysopa) maxillary palpi with basal joint short, third 
long, cylindrical, fourth short, fifth as long as the third; first joint of tarsi 
as long as the three following together ; wings with the costal band very 
broad from the base, and the simple transverse vein ” nearest the base of 
the fore wing unites with the posterior branch of the outermost venuta 
suhcuhitalis to form a triangular or pedunculate cell behind the third cell 
of the cubital band. Sp. Hemerohim candidus (Fab.), Chrysopa punctata 
(Hagen), C. venusta (Hagen), &c., and three new species, 
Ankylopteryx (g. n.) anomala, sp. n., Brauer, 1. c. p. 901, from the Nicobar 
islands; A. immacidatay sp. n., Brauer, ibid., from Van Diemen’s Land; and 
A. doleschalii, sp. n., Brauer, ibid., from Amboyna. 
Chrysopa coi'sica, sp. n., Hagen, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. tome iv. p. 40, 
from Corsica. 
Isoscelipteron pennsylmnicum, sp. n., Brauer, 1. c. p. 898, 
Apochrysa coccineay sp. n., Brauer, 1. c. p. 899, jfrom Amboyna; A. nicoha- 
rictty sp. n., Brauer, ibid., from the Nicobar Islands. 
Phryganid^. 
M'Lachlan (Ent. Trans. 3rd ser. vol. i. pp. 656-669) gives a revision of the 
three Fabrician types of the old genus Phryganca contained in the collec- 
tion of the late Sir Joseph Banks. According to him, P. irrorata (Fab.) is 
identical with Limnephilus intercisus (Walk.), and not with Neuronia conca- 
tenata (Walk.) as supposed by Dr. Hagen ; P. signata (Fab.) is a Brachy- 
centrusy probably either P. /w%mosMS (Walk.) or P. (Hagen), which 
are very closely allied and may be identical ; and P. notata (Fab.) is the 
same as Bipseudopsis capensis (Walk.), and Fabricius has been in error in 
giving North Ameiica as its habitat. 
Hagen has published a complete synonymic synopsis of the 
species of this family (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, Bd. xiv.
