13. NEUROPTERA. 



2. Plaiiipennia et Panorpata 



by 



H. W. VAN DER WEELE. 



With 5 text-figures. 



The interesting order of the Planipennia, as well as that of the Panorpata, is 

 collected by Prof. Dr. SJOSTEDT with special interest, so that an important supplement, 

 especially in the smaller species, can be given to Prof. H. J. KOLBE'S work in STUHL- 

 MANN'S "Deutsch Ost-Afrika". The number of 25 named species (100 specimens), 10 of 

 which are new to science, is considerable, and with great satisfaction I may certify that 

 more attention is paid by travellers and collectors to these hitherto so neglected insects. 

 Though the confusion in these orders is still large, I only give here the full synonymy 

 of the species so far as it is known and the descriptions of the new species. The genera 

 are left unchanged, though many of them ought to be divided and splitted up. I will, how- 

 ever, reserve these changements for my monographic revisions of the families in the 

 "Catalogue de la collection du Baron de Selys Longchamps". 



The species marked with an * are not mentioned in KOLBE'S publication and are 

 new to German East- Africa.
