INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Neuropterous Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different individuals of each
species contained im the collection are indicated by the letters
a, b, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before
undescribed.

This part of the Catalogue of Neuropterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. FRANCIS
WALKER, so well known for his attention to this order of
Insects.

The continuation is in hand, and will follow as soon as it can
be completed.

Group 1. — Eyes very large, each of them broader than the
space between them. Three first joints of the maxillary palpi of
equal length ; fourth shorter ; fifth longer but much more slender
than the preceding.

A. Fore-tibiae with apical spurs; middle tibia3 longer than the

hind tibiae, with two spurs near the base. L. albicorais.

of more slender and rather longer apical spurs but without
any middle spurs. L. longicornis, concolor.

Group 2.— Eyes much smaller ; each of them much less than
the space between them.

A. First joint of the maxillary palpi almost as long as the second,
which is as long as the third. Fore-tibiae without spurs at
the tips.

The five principal veins of each wing are the following : 1st,
the costal, which forms the fore border ; 2nd, the subcostal, which is
parallel to the costal and not far from it ; 3rd, the median, which
springs immediately from the side of the subcostal, is in juxtaposi-
tion with it for a short space, then diverging divides the wing into
two almost equal parts, and is bifurcate at two-thirds of its length ;
4th, the submedian, which springs near the internal angle of the
wing, and terminates in the middle of the hind border, and is bifur-
cate very near its beginning, its fore branch forming the anterior
submedian vein, and its hind branch the posterior submedian vein ;
5th, the anal, which is near the base, has a short course, and of
which it is often difficult to distinguish between the principal and
secondary branches. These veins divide the wing into four princi-
pal regions, which are thus named : 1st, the marginal region, com-
prised between the costal vein and the subcostal vein ; 2nd, the
submarginal region, between the subcostal and the median vein ;
3rd, the median region, between the median vein and the anterior
submedian vein ; 4th, the anal region, which contains all the internal
part of the wing between the lower submedian vein and the anal
angle, and in which the vein of the same name ramifies. There is
besides the submedian areolet, between the branches of the subme-
diau vein. The principal line of transverse veins divides the 1st,
2nd and 3rd regions into two parts, the basilar part and the termi-
nal part. The basilar part of the marginal region is divided longi-
tudinally into two parts by the vein accessory to the costal, and thus
contains three principal areolets, the external basilar areolet, the
internal basilar areolet and the terminal areolet. In the hind-wings
the submarginal region is divided longitudinally by a vein accessory
to the median vein, not by one accessory to the subcostal.

INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Neuropterous Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different individuals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters
a, 5, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before
undescribed.

This part of the Catalogue of Neuropterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. FRANCIS
WALKER, so well known for his attention to this order of
Insects.

The continuation is in hand, and will follow as soon as it is
completed.

INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Neuropterous Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different individuals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters
a, b, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before
undescribed.

This part of the Catalogue of Neuropterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. FBANCIS
WALKER, so well known for his attention to this order of
Insects.

The continuation is in hand, and will follow as soon as it is
completed.

larva in form, habit and food. Rudiments of wings very percepti-
ble at the posterior angles of the wing-bearing segments. Attains
its perfect stale by a double ecdysis ; after the first, the insect re-
tains the soft, silky pellicle which invests a great number of insects,
and which, in all other cases, is shed with the pupa-case. After a
feeble flight the insect settles, and in the course of a few hours di-
vests itself of the pellicle, and has then accomplished all its trans-
formations.'' — Newman.

INTROUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete list of the specimens of Neuropterous Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different individuals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters
a, b, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before
undescribed.

This part of the Catalogue of Neuropterous Insects has
been prepared and the new species described by Mr. FRANCIS
WALKEB, so well known for his attention to this order of

Insects.

The continuation is in hand, and will follow as soon as it is
completed.

I am indebted to the kindness of M. le Baron De Selys Long-
champs for nearly all the following descriptions, which are trans-
lated from the MSS. which he gave me.

Fam. 1. AGRIONID.E.

Agrion, Fabr. ; Latr. ; Vanderl.

Occiput narrow, linear : eyes very small, as regards the tribe,
far apart, as if pediculate : ocelli seated in a triangle round the
slightly elevated vertex : antennae inserted quite beneath the ocelli ;
1st joint long, incumbent on the head ; 2nd generally very long,
upright : labium large, divided into 2 parts which are reunited by
a sometimes obsolete membrane, or more generally do not extend to

the tip ; 2nd joint of the labial palpi with more than half the breadth
of the labrum, with the internal angle of its tip prolonged into a
long spine ; last joint narrow, almost cylindrical, often much shorter
than, but sometimes as long as, the preceding : labrum entire, con-
vex, rounded: abdomen of the male with 4 appendages : areolets of
the wings mostly quadrilateral : membranule quite obsolete.

Rambur divides this family into the following genera : —

a. Veinlets of the 1st costal space more or less numerous.

b. Pterostigma very small or only visible in the female : wings

not pediculate. 1. CALOPTERYX.

bb. Veinlets of the 1st costal space always rather numerous:
pterostigma regular in the wings of both sexes.

c. Epistoraa without a hump. 2. EUPHJEA.
cc. Epistoma with a hump. 3. RHINOCYPHA.

bbb. Epistoma with a hump : veinlets of the 1st costal space only
5 or 6 in number. 4. MICROMERUS.

aa. Only two veinlets in the 1st humeral or costal space.

b. Shanks dilated, or at least in the male. 5. PLATYCNEMIS.
bb. Shanks dilated in neither sex.

c. Areolets often pentagonal : pterostigma oblong-quadrate, as

in the Libellulides. 6. LESTES.

cc. Almost all the areolets quadrilateral ; hind-border of the
wings having most often only a single row of areolets after
the last vein : pterostigma most often lozenge-shaped.

d. Legs deeply fringed. 7. ABGIA.
dd. Legs with short hairs or spines.

e. A single row of areolets on the hind-border.

f. Size small : pterostigma small, lozenge-shaped. 8. AGRION.
ff. Size large : pterostigma large, or blended with a spot at the

tip. 9. MECISTOGASTER.

ee. A great number of areolets on the hind-border of the wings

after the 8th vein,
f. Pterostigma obsolete, or broader than long.

10. MICROSTIGMA.

Labium lengthened, deeply severed into 2 narrow obtuse divi-
sions : labial palpi very slightly covering the mouth, with the
penultimate joint shorter or not longer than the labium, notched at
the tip, prolonged into a point inwardly where it bears a long spine ;
last joint delicate, flattened, shorter by half than the preceding, nar-
row, slightly bent : eyes very remote : abdomen much longer than
the wing ; upper appendages of the male varying but little, formed
like rounded pincers : legs very large, fringed with long slender
hairs : hind-border of the wings prolonged even to the base ; reticu-
lation very fine and very close, quite unvarying ; humeral part form-
ing less than half but much more than one-third of the length of the
wing ; pterostigma anomalous, only appearing in the female, or
obsolete, or also appearing a little in the male.
