362 AUSTRALIAN ^EUROPTERA, 



blotches; hindwings with usiiall}'- three spots towards the tip, but 

 the markings are variable. 



I have never taken this species alive, but I have specimens 

 from Grafton, Newcastle and Sj^dney. It will probabl}- require 

 to be placed in another genus when the classification is worked up, 

 as it differs from the typical Glenurus. Leach's type is said to 

 be in the Macleay Museum Collection. 



Glenurus fundatus, Walk. 



Myrmeleon fiLiidatua, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. Neurop. 320, 1853. 



This is our largest species of ant-lion, measuring from an inch 

 to half as long again in the body; and with an expanse of over 

 four inches across the wings. 



It has a very wide range over Australia; Walker records it 

 from Port Curtis, Q., Western Australia, and Tasmania. Mr. 

 Masters informs me that he has taken it about Sydney. I have 

 specimens from Kalgoorlie, W.A., and a fine series obtained at 

 Townsville, N.Q., was recentl}^ sent to me by Mr. F. A. Dodd. 



General colour brown, thickly covered w^ith greyish hairs, 

 longest and densest upon thorax and legs; face, undersurface of 

 prothorax, base of forelegs and wings yellow ; antennae grej^ 

 Wings hyaline; hindwings shortest but similar to forewings in 

 markings, the nervures so finely marked with dark brown that 

 they have a greyish tint. 



Glenurus circuiter, Walk. 



Myrmeleon circuiter, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. Neurop. 400. 



This is one of the most distinctive Australian species on account 

 of the rich chestnut-coloured blotches and spots forming a varie- 

 gated pattern over the large hyaline wings, both pairs of which 

 curve round at the apex in front, and are distinctly arcuate on 

 the hind margin at the tips. 



The species has a wide range. There are specimens in the 

 Macleay Museum labelled Rockhampton, Q., and New South 

 Wales. Mr. Masters informs me that he took it many years
