P. ESBEN-PETERSEN, AFRICAN MYRMELEONIDAE. I. 19 



Wings long and narrow vvith rather acute apex. In the 

 forewing the Cu^ is almost rimning parallel to Cu^ and the 

 posterior margin as in the genus Creagris, bat it is much 

 shorter, and it ends before the origin of the first branch 

 from Rs. In both pairs of wings 1 A forms a straight line, 

 and the space between 1 A and the posterior börder is gra- 

 diially narrowing towards the end of 1 A. The radial plicate 

 line wanting or slightly indicated, the intercubital plicate 

 line very distinct and running close to and parallel with Cii^. 

 Several cross veins before Bs in the forewing, one in the 

 hindwing. In the hindwing Cu^ runs parallel with and close 

 to the posterior margin, and only two rows of cellules are 

 found between the Cw^ and the margin the two thirds of 

 the way. 



As to the long first tarsal joint this genus has some 

 likeness to Pseudoformicaleo Weele, but there are some dif- 

 ferences in the nervation of the wings, especially in the shape 

 oi 1 A. From the genus Creagris it is separated by the shorter 

 cubital fork in the forewing, but especially by the different 

 shape of i ^. In Creagris the 1 A in the forewing is running 

 rather far away from the hind margin.

An old and somewhat damaged female specimen, labelled 

 »S. Leona, Afzelius» is present in the Stockholm Mus. In 

 my own collection I have a male specimen from Fort Crampel, 

 French Congo, and I have seen a number of specimens from 

 French Congo in other collections.
