230 EXOTIC NEUROPTERA. 



parallel to the cubital fork until middle of wing. The fork 

 of cubitus parallel to cubitus, but one vein between them ; 

 costals simple ; hind-wings with radial sector arising near 

 base, but one cross-vein before it ; anal extremely short, end- 

 ing before cubital fork. 



Type. — Eremoleon angustus Banks. 



It also includes Myrmeleon efferus Walk. Readily known 

 from other American genera by the venation Both species 

 have the middle tibiae much spotted with black, there being 

 a series of bands beneath. The two species known to me 

 are separable as follows ; 



A black spot before pterostigma in fore-wings ; in hind-wings two rows 

 of cells (for most of distance) between the cubitus and the 



hind margin efterus Walk. 



No prominent black spot before stigma ; in hind-wings but oue row 



of cells between cubitus and margin ; legs more slender than 



in efferus angustus Bks. 



ASCALAPHIDAE. 

 Sulipalasca lierniosa n. sp.— Clypeus pale, above it is a band of 

 dense black hair reaching from eye to eye, above this the face is dark ; 

 dense black hair around bases of antennae and on the vertex ; antennae 

 black at base, beyond pale, annulate with black, knob brown, an- 

 tennae not reaching to the stigma. Thoracic dorsum black with fine 

 black hair ; pleura pale, with white hair ; legs shining jet black, except 

 the basal part of femora which is pale. Abdomen dark brown, with 

 pale spot on the side of each segment. Wings almost hyaline, faintly 

 yellowish ; venation black ; costal cross-veins, those before radial 

 sector and those between radial sector and radius, are margined with 

 brownish, and the veinlets beyond stigma and above subcosta also 

 margined, while those between the cubitus and median show a dark 

 spot near middle ; hind wings similar to the fore-wings in markings. 

 Tips of wings nearly acute ; stigma with five veinlets ; a few cross- 

 veins before the radial sector crossed ; five branches to radial sector ; 

 costal cells in fore-wing as high as long ; in hind-wing some a little 

 longer than high ; three series of cells at tip beyond the stigma ; cell 

 before cubital fork in fore-wing is triangular ; beyond the cubital fork 

 are three cells ; marginal cells in anal area of hind wings are much 

 higher than broad. Expanse 84 mm. 



Type. — cf. From Kandy, Ceylon, May (Green). 



The genus Suhpalasca can be distinguished from Hybris, 

 Acheron, etc.. by the nature of the veining between radial 

 sector and median near the margin of wing ; in Hybris, etc., 

 there are about three rows of cells nearly parallel to the me-
