FAMILY MYRMELEONIM. 



Palpares pardus partitus, n. var. 



Near P. pardus, but the spots are much smaller and more broken 

 up; the zigzag band near tip is much narrower, and in the hind wings 

 the subapical band is broadly interrupted behind the middle. The face 

 is brown, above the antennae dull black; the vertex yellowish brown, 

 a transverse row of erect curved black bristles at base of the clypeus 

 connecting base of eyes, a whorl of black bristles on basal joint of 

 antennae, antennas black except base; pronotum yellowish, with me- 

 dian black spot extending back on mesothorax; legs yellowish, the 

 tarsi, spurs, and claws black, black bristles elsewhere, but the coxae 

 with long white hair, all the thorax clothed with dense white hair. 

 The same size as P. pardus. 



From Bassein Fort, Bombay, India, October. 



Acanthaclisis indica, new species. 



Face pale yellowish, heavily clothed with white hair; vertex black, 

 with two transverse rows of shining spots; antennae pale brown, 

 darker at tip; pronotum yellowish with broad black median stripe 

 reaching back over rest of the thorax; on the anterior lobes it includes 

 a pale spot each side, and on the mesoscutellum is divided by a narrow 

 median line; rest of thorax gray, with faint dark stripes near base of 

 wings; all with white hair. Sides of thorax densely long white-haired. 

 Abdomen black, slightly paler above, white or gray hairs near base, at 

 the tip on venter is dense black hair. Legs densely white-haired, femur 

 yellowish, with black bristles beneath; tibiae and tarsi brown to black, 

 the tibiae with short black hair beneath and some black bristles above; 

 spurs strongly bent. Wings gray hyaline, veins pale, interruptedly 

 dotted or spotted with black, the stigma rather dark, and near apex of 

 wing one or two short dark streaks, but not prominent. Wings long, 

 narrow, acute; fore-wings with costal series mostly simple; ten cross- 

 veins before origin of radial sector, the latter with nine branches; in 

 hind-wings seven cross-veins before origin of radial sector. Expanse 

 90 mm. 



From Chapra, Bengal, India ( Mackenzie). 



Acanthaclisis horridus Walker. 



Although this is quite different in appearance from the common 

 forms of Acanthclixiti, it differs in few structural characters. The 

 branches of the radial sector are bent as usual, the anal vein of hind 

 wings runs into the cubital fork, the legs are normal, and the an- 

 tennae about one diameter apart at base. The pronotum, however, 

 is longer than usual, and the wings are broader than in any other 

 species known to me. The hind wings have an oblique mark beyond 

 the stigma and one at the anal angle; the fore wings have dark 

 marks both sides of the stigma, one near end of cubitus and median,
