Having had before me a large lot of African Myrmeleoni- 

 dae from Stockholm Riksmuseum, forwarded to me by Pro- 

 fessor D:r Yngve Sjöstedt, to whom I am much indebted 

 for the opportunity of going through this interesting material, 

 the work of determination has led me to examine some ge- 

 nera rather closely, and therefore, I give below some notes 

 concerning the results of this. Some of the results concern- 

 ing the examination of a fine lot from South Africa, be- 

 longing to D:r Ris, Rheinau, and collected by Mr. Junod, 

 are also included here. 



The systematics of the My rmeleonidae needs a thorough 

 revision, and I am convinced that it may be necessary to 

 take up the »Kleinadernstudium» in conformity with the 

 work done by Professor L. Kruger in his study of the Os- 

 mylidae (Stett. entom. Zeitschr. 1912 et seq.). 



It is possible that my explanations and names of some 

 of the nervures may be changed, when the necessary exami- 

 nations of the nervation in the pupal stage are made, but I 

 hope that my notes may still be of some value to future 

 systematists.
