12tli May. These do Dot differ from English examples, excepting that 
the blackish axillae of the furcations and the transverse veinlets are 
rather darker. The number of transverse veinlets is very variable. 
HEMEROBIID2E. 
Hemerobius subnebulosus, Stephens. — One B from near Almodovar, 
8th May, one B from the slopes of Picota, about 1050 feet, 20th May, 
one 5 between Coimbra and Sao Antonio, 3rd June, two B from Cea, 
1092 feet, 6th and 8th June. These are much less smoky than the 
ordinary British form. 
Hemerobius limbatus, Wesmael. — Two from Cintra, 27th April, 
three from Cea, 8th June, one from Villa Real, 25th June; all ? . 
They do not differ from British examples. 
chrysopidjE. 
Chrysopa vulgaris , Schneider. — One example, Cintra, 1st June 
(also one example belonging to the Lisbon Museum). 
Chrysopa septempunctata , Wesmael. — One example, Cintra, 1st 
June (also in the Lisbon Museum). 
Chrysopa formosa, Brauer. — One example near Villa Real, 23rd 
June (also in the Lisbon Museum). 
Chrysopa nigro -punctata, Ed. Piet. P — Two near Cintra, 28th and 
29th April, one near Cea, 11th June. Eurther materials seem to 
prove that nigro-punctata is not so distinct from Jlavifrons as it at first 
appeared to me ( vide ante , p. 62), but I refer Mr. Eaton’s examples to 
the former rather than to the latter. 
Chrysopa Picteti, McLachlan (= thoracica, Ed. Piet., vide ante , 
p. 63). — One from between Coimbra and Sao Antonio, 3rd June, one 
from near Villa Real, 25th June. Eresh examples are deep green 
with a yellow dorsal vitta, not noticed in the original description of 
thoracica. 
Chrysopa aspersa , Wesmael. — Seven examples from a hill S. W. 
of Almodovar, beaten from cork-oak, 8th May, one from Cintra, 1st 
June, one from between Cea and Sao Romao, 9th June, three from 
near Villa Real, 22nd, 24th, and 25th June. Excessively variable in 
the spotting of the thorax, &c., even in individuals from the same 
locality ; mostly of small size as compared with examples from Northern 
Europe. I have never been able to satisfy myself that prasina of 
Burmeister is more than a strongly marked form, and if so, that name 
has priority over aspersa.
