AVe have, therefore, a new family representing a synthetic type which combines the features of structure now found in the Odonata and Sialina., very distant members of the Neiiroptera. The fragment is sufficiently preserved to show the direction, extent, and mode of branching of nearly every principal ncrvure. It is evidently a portion of an upper wing; the insect measured not far from 3^ inches in expanse of ; Fig. 183.—Lilhcntomum Ilarttii, Scudder. " This was the first specimen discovered by Mr C. F. Hartt, and I have, therefore, named it after him:—apparently, it docs not belong to any fiimily of Ncuroptera represented among living forms. It agrees more closely with the family Hemeristina, which I founded upon a fossil insect discovered in Illinois, than it does with any other; but is quite distinct from that, both in the mode of division of the nervures and in the peculiar cross-veining. The fragment which Mr Hartt discovered is very imperfect; but, fortunately, pi-eserves the most important parts of the wing. I am inclined to think that it was a* lower wing. The insect probably measured Z\ inches in expanse of ; Fig. 18-1.—Xenoneura antiquorum, Scudder. " Although In this fragment we see only the basal half or third of a wing, the peculiar mode o
