BY NATHAN BANKS. 
The descriptions of the following new species have accumulated 
during the past year, based mostly on accessions to my collection, 
but the types of some (indicated in text) are in other collections. 
I have included a table to the genera of Myrmeleonids known from 
the Indo-Australian region.

Gradates subparallel 5. 
5. Inner gradates few (3 or 4), each much mora than its length from 
the next one; divisory veinlet ends beyond the cross-vein, 
isolata. 
Inner gradates (6 or 7) scarcely their length apart; divisory 
veinlet ends before the cross-vein morota. 
HEMEROBIID^. 
Sympherobius intervenalis n. sp. 
Yellowish, head without definite spots except one each side on 
vertex near the eyes; antennae pale, with three or four dark segments 
about one-third way out; palpi brown. Pronotum brown, thorax 
with lobes at base of wings dark; abdomen brownish; legs pale. 
Wings yellowish hyaline, with pale venation; the forkings of veins, 
costals at base, and some anal veins dark brown, the four gradates 
dark and bordered with dark brown, the two posterior disjointed 
from the two anterior by more than their length; a large dark brown 
spot in the subcostal area between subcosta and radius near base 
of Avings; behind it the cubital cross-vein is heavily dark, and the 
median and radial cross-veins near base are also dark. The costal 
area is quite broad, about four times as broad as the subcostal area. 
In the hind wings the stigma at tip and some of the outer forkings 
are dark; the entire margin of both wings with dots between veins. 
Expanse 11 mm. 
From Call, Colombia, 500 feet (Parish). 
Sympherobius modestus var. connexus n. var. 
This is similar to the typical form, with the same markings more 
heavily developed; the four dark spots across the face are connected 
into a streak each side; the spots on upper and lower clypeus are

connected; the front tibiae are plainly banded near base and at tip* 
the head and thorax with pale median stripe ; the wings very heavily 
marked with dark on plan of S. modestus, but the wings are about 
one-fourth longer than in that species, making the cells more elon- 
gate; the four outer gradates in pairs. Expanse 14 mm. 
From Chosica, Peru, 2,800 feet, 9 June (Parish). I have received 
5. modestus from Matucana, Peru (Parish Coll.). 
TRIOHOPTERA. 
CEcetina parish! n. sp. 
Yellowish, with yellow and gray hair; palpi densely gray-haired; 
antennae with tips of joints plainly blackish. Wings yellowish gray, 
darker at tip, black along the outer margin, but here interrupted 
three times with pale, a tuft of black hair on anal margin toward 
base, surface with about ten black spots or marks; two near base, 
one above the tuft on anal margin, one on fork of radial sector, two 
or three at anastomosis, one beyond, one at end of radius, one at end 
of subcosta and one near arculus. Hind wings with gray fringe, 
much longer than width of the wings. In fore wings the discal cell 
is nearly as long as its pedicel, strongly convex above, fork 1 twice 
as long as its pedicel ; both wings acute at tips. Expanse 12 mm. 
From Mallali and Bartica, British Guiana (Parish). 
Macronema fragilis n. sp. 
Face yellowish, with whitish hair; antennae pale, faintly marked 
at tips of the joints; vertex brown; thoracic notum brown, abdomen 
pale on base, dark at tip; legs pale yellowish, hind tarsi darker; 
fore wings a nearly uniform brown, veins darker, an elongate pale 
spot over stigiiial area, broader on basal part, reaching to discal cell, 
apical part usually containing a dark spot, beyond this and half 
way to tip is a yellowish white spot extending from costa to fork 2, 
in base of second apical cell, just beyond discal cell, is a pale spot; 
hind wings gray, fringe black. In structure extremely similar ta 
M. parvum, and venation practically the same. Expanse 14 mm. 
From Bartica, British Guiana, December (Parish). 
Macronema picteli n. sp. PI. XXVIII, fig. 9. 
Similar to M. lineatum and M. argentilineatum, and probably the 
species referred to by Ulmer (Selys, Trich. pt. 2, p. 69) under M. 
argentilineatum from British Guiana in Leyden Museum. It differs 
from M. lineatum in small eyes, and longer, more pointed wings,, 
and the apical marks are a little different. It differs from M. argen- 
tilineatum, in having fork 1 to hind wings, and in the position of the 
>632 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [NoV., 
<5ostal cross-vein in fore wings, and the apical marks of fore wings. 
The wings are long, dark brown; there is a transverse band of white 
in stigmal region, a crescentic white mark over tip of wing, and pale 
;spots on outer margin in the cells. Between the apical and stigmal 
marks is a large patch of golden hair, which when rubbed shows 
hyaline streaks in the bases of several apical cells. Expanse 26 mm. 
From Mallali, British Guiana, March (Parish). 
Phylloicus brevior n. sp. PI. XXVIII, figs. 2, 4. 
Body yellowish, with yellow hairs; anterior part of the thorax 
blackish, and tip of abdomen dark; antennae black-haired, and 
sometimes a black spot over base of each antenna; a row of black 
Jiairs each side of face under the antennse; legs pale, most of fore 
and mid tarsi, all of hind tarsi and part of tibia black, three spurs 
on hind tibia, four on mid tibia. Wings nearly evenly dark reddish 
brown, darker on costal area and on apex; hind wings also dark, 
more blackish. Fore wings with venation much like that of P. 
■abdominalis — that is, the first fork extends one-half way back on 
■discal cell ; in the hind wings, however, the apical forks are longer, 
and there is no closed median cell; the male genitalia are exposed. 
Expanse 19 mm.
