Biology. The eggs and larva of B. kintoki (Okamoto) have been described by Tsukaguchi (1979). The eggs are laid singly or in widely spaced groups of 7-14. From their flattened form, it is likely that the larvae conceal themselves in crevices. Adults are attracted to light and can be found resting on the underside of the leaves of Catalpa bignonioides Walter. Adams (1959) des- cribed the putative larva of B. scelestes (Banks) from Palau, Micronesia. His description agrees closely with that given by Tsukaguchi for kintoki, and differs from most other known chrysopid larvae, so it seems likely that the larva was correctly assigned to B. scelestes. Genus CERAEOCHRYSA Adams Ceraeochrysa Adams, 19826: 70. Type species: Chrysopa cincta Schneider, by original designation. Distribution. Nearctic, Neotropics. This genus includes 40 described species and, in addition, several undescribed species are present in the BMNH collections. They are widely dis- tributed throughout North and South America and the West Indies. C. cincta is widely distributed from Florida to Argentina and the Galapagos Islands. Ceraeochrysa is the dominant Neotropical chrysopine genus in numbers of individuals and numbers of species. Diagnosis. Adult. Medium-sized lacewings, fore wing (Fig. 265) 9-15 mm; ground colour pale green. Head unmarked or with red suffusion and red stripe on scape; palps tapered; galea narrow; labrum indented or straight; mandibles broad, asym
