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 spccies 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

The five principal veins of each wing are the following: 1st,
the costal, wbich 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 bifurcale 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 wear 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 ; 41h, 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-
dian vein. The principal line of transverse veins divides the 1st,
2nd and 3rd regions into two parts, the basilar part and the termi-
bal part. The basilar part of the marginal region is divided longi-
tudinally into two parts by the veio accessory to the costal, and thus
contains three principal areolets, the external hasilar areolet, the
internal basilar areolet and the terminal areolėt. In the hind-wing's
the subınarginal 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, 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 is
completed.

"Male. Size of P. Germanica, which it much resembles, and
has almost the same colours, but is quite distinct: hind border of
the second abdominal segment a little raised; fifth short, thicker at
its tip than at its base, compressed and prominent above at its tip ;
sixth gibbous at its base, bardly dilated at its tip; seventh a litile
gibbous after the base, not dilated towards the tip, much notched
above on its hind border: terminal clavate part thicker than that of
P. communis, and with more linear appendages, which extend almost
to the base of the forceps.”-Rambur.

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. 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.

larva in form, habit and food. Rudiments of wings very percepti-
ble at the posterior angles of the wing-bearing segments. Attains
its perfect state 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.
III
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.

the tip; 2010 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.

bh. 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 veil: pterostigma most often lozenge-shaped.
d. Legs deeply fringed.
7. ARGIA.
dd. Legs with short hairs or spines.
e. A single row of areolets on the hind-border. .

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-
