The male and female genitalia of Chrysopiella and Eremochrysa have many charac- ters in common that are not found elsewhere in the Chrysopidae and this suggests that they are closely related. However, rather than synonymize them, we have decided to treat them as distinct subgenera because there are several characters which are not shared. In Chrysopiella the man- dibles are symmetrical, the galea is narrow, the eyes are small (head width : eye width :1), the inner gradates are absent from the fore wing and microsetae are present on the dorsum of the arcessus. However, in Eremochrysa the man- dibles are asymmetrical, the galea broad, the eyes larger (head width : eye width = : 1), an inner gradate series is present in the fore wing and microsetae are absent from the arcessus. Biology. Unknown. Adams & Garland (1981) noted that adult Chrysopiella species were pollen- feeders and that the guts of C. brevisetosa Adams & Garland contained pollen resembling Atriplex (Chenopodiaceae). Pollen was also found in the guts of C. brevisetosa and C. sabulosa (Banks) during this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
