Adams (1967) showed a suture between sternites 8+9 in N. californica and Psm not meeting the inner gradates but extending slightly beyond them, although the vein stops short of the outer gradates. Biology. The larvae of all three species of Nothochrysa have been described: N. californica Banks (Toschi, 1965), N. capitata Fabricius (Killington, 1937; Kimmins, 1939; Gepp, 1983) and N. fulviceps Stephens (Killington, 1937; Gepp, 1983). Adults examined during this study did not have insect remains in their gut contents. Genus PAMOCHRYSA Tjeder Pamochrysa Tjeder, 1966: 248. Type species: Pamochrysa stellata Tjeder, by monotypy. Distribution. The single included species is known from southern Africa. Diagnosis. Adult. Small lacewings, fore wing (Fig. 554) 9-11 mm; ground colour pale green. Head, scape, pedicel marked extensively with black spots and stripes; palps narrow, rounded apically; mandibles broad, asymmetrical with basal tooth on left mandible; galea long, narrow with prominent apical papilla; labrum indented; vertex domed; toruli large; eyes small (head width : eye width = ^ : 1); scape squared; pedicel slightly constricted medially; antenna shorter than fore wing; flagellar segments 3 times as long as broad; setae arranged in five rings. Pronotum marked with black lateral stripes; dorsal setae short, black; meso- and metanotum with black markings. Legs marked with black stripes on femora and tibiae; setae short, dark; claws without b
