NEUROPTEROUS INSECTS. 
11 
black ; abdomen with a dorsal and lateral inter- 
rupted raised line; brown above, with a lateral, 
interrupted blue vitta, originating with the second 
segment ; first and second segments bright green ; 
venter tinged with brown, with a blackish vitta; 
foliaceous appendices carinate, at the exterior tip 
prominently mucronate. 
Length three inches. 
9 Wings with a trace of ferruginous on the anterior 
portion ; foliaceous appendages rather smaller, lan- 
ceolate, acute. 
Drury in his figure represents the abdomen as 
entirely green ; but this is a mistake ; his dried 
specimen had this part brown, and supposing it to 
have been green when living, he figured it so. 
Can this be vesiculosa , L. ? It is allied to the formo- 
sa, Vanderlinden, which, however, appears to have 
a black, angulated, dorsal vitta on the abdomen, 
and the eyes are described to be green. 
3. JE. constricta. Abdomen contracted near the 
base, elongated, with interrupted bands ; anal pro- 
cesses undulated and prominently mucronate. 
Inhabits Indiana. 
S Eyes in contact above ; occiput black, with a 
yellow spot between the eyes ; front greenish-yel- 
low ; between and behind the antennae, with the 
exception of a yellow transverse spot, black, con- 
nected anteriorly with a transverse black line; 
stethidium brownish, varied with greenish vitta? 
before, and oblique ones on the pleura, and spots 
on base of the wings ; wings hyaline, a little lacta- 
ceous; stigma moderate, black; anal membrane
