NEUROPTERA. 
3 
The species is of very wide distribution in Europe, and is also known from Asia Minor 
and Western Turkestan. I have seen individuals from the islands of Madeira and St. Helena 
that did not appear to differ. 
Chrysopa bipunctata, Burmeister. 
One example, either from Yarkand or Kugiar, appears to pertain to this Japanese species, 
which is probably nothing more than a local form of the common European C. septempunc- 
tata, Wesmael. 
Chrysopa, sp. 
One 6 from Karghalik near Yarkand, 29th May. 
Allied to C. vulgaris, hut distinct. It would be injudicious to describe it as new from 
this single example, especially as it belongs to a section of the genus in which the characters 
are so little obvious.

Stenophylax micraulax, n. sp. 
3 £ , 4 $ , Leh,’ in August. 
Brownish-testaceous above, yellowish-testaceous beneath. Head small ; eyes very pro- 
minent ; ocelli very large, those of the disk encircled with fuscous, with which colour the anterior 
margins of the disk are bordered ; hairs blackish ; the posterior warts not prominent : on the 
face the raised lateral margins have two large, oval, prominent warts, furnished with blackish 
hairs, and there are four smaller warts forming the comers of a quadrangle on the median 
portion ; labrum very long (for the genus) ; maxillary palpi ordinary, the basal joint very 
short, the two others ( 6 ) gradually clavate ; a large and prominent triangular horny lobe 
at the base of the maxillae ; labial palpi small, the second joint broadly triangular. Antennae 
rather shorter than the wings, moderately slender, testaceous, with rather broad, brownish 
annulations on the upper side. Pronotum well developed, its anterior edge semi-circular 
with a median excision ; the disk is concave, but the edges are thickened and raised and 
clothed with long fuscous hairs. Meso- and metanota broadly fuscous or blackish at the 
sides. Legs testaceous, moderately stout ; spines deep black ; anterior and intermediate tibise 
with a conspicuous fuscous semi-annulation in the middle and at the apex externally ; tarsal 
joints slightly fuscescent at the tips externally. Abdomen fuscescent above, testaceous 
beneath. Anterior wings broad, the apex elongately parabolic or elliptical : pale brownish- 
grey 'with numerous very indistinct paler spots, the membrane very finely granulose, with 
minute fuscous hairs ; the hairs on the neuration short and fine, fuscous ; in the narrow area 
below the inferior branch of the upper cubitus, and in the post-costal basal cellules and area, 
are longer black hairs arranged somewhat in tufts, and at the extreme base are a few longer 
brown erect bans : the costal margin (in the t only) near the base is turned under for a 
space of about 4 mm., forming a deep narrow groove on the under side, filled with black 
hairs and conspicuously dark : neuration rather strong, testaceous ; radius sharply bent
