June, 19I3-] BaNKS : NOTES ON AFRICAN MyRMELEONID^, 153 



Myrmeleon subpunctatus Rbr. 



A Formicaleon; spurs as long as three joints of tarsus; legs stout, 

 fifth joint of tarsus twice as long as the first. Fore wings broad at 

 stigma, which is reddish, a faint dark dot at end of anal, and at union 

 of the median and cubital veins in fore-wings ; in the hind wings an 

 oblique dark streak toward tip, ii branches of radial sector; antennae 

 close together, a large dark spot above them, thorax discolored. Runs 

 to F. harpalycc, but no marks under antennas, and the spots in fore 

 wing, as well as smaller size, distinguish it. 



Neuroleon extraneus Navas. 



This is Formicaleon lepidns Kolbe. 



Gymnoleon exilis Bks. 



Gym. gaillandi Navas (Paris Mus.), Klapalckus iiitbilatiis Xavas 

 (Brit. Mus.), and Neuroleon drosimus Navas (Brit. Mus.) all equal 

 G. exilis. The A^. drosimus has no spurs. 



Gymnoleon elizabethae Bks. 



Obus arenosiis Navas is this species, there are no spurs. 



Creagris parallelus Klap. 



This is the common C. mortifer Walk. ; the name parallelus was 

 already used by me for an Indian species. 



Creagris cineraceus Navas. 



Is related to C. mortifer, but marks of pronotum are different as 

 in figure. 



Myrmeleon mortifer Walk. 



Is the Creagris as usually identified. M. pervirgil Walk, is the 

 same species. Creagris infirmus Navas is the same, but the anal is 

 not as prominently marked as usual. Creagris plagatus Navas is also 

 C. mortifer. 



Myrmeleon africanus Rbr. 



A Creagris as identified by all; marked (prob. by McLachlan) as 

 equal to luteipennis Burm. There are 5 to 7 cross-veins before radial 

 sector in fore wing, 11 branches of radial sector, 11 to 13 cross-veins 

 between anal and cubital in fore wing.
