Davis's S/a/i's vwrrisoni is only a specimen of ^. nevadensis not fully 

 colored. The two species were collected at same place on same date 

 by same party. 



Myrmeleonid^. 



Dendroleon pumilus Biirm. 



This species does not seem to have been noted for many years. 

 Hagen in his " Stray Notes " does not treat of it. I have one speci- 

 men from Lake Worth, Florida, which may be described more fully 

 than the early accounts, as follows : 



Head black, a pale transverse line from eye to eye above antennae ; pronotum jet 

 black, with a prominent white spot each side on the anterior margin ; thorax black, 

 sutures on pleura white ; abdomen black, a prominent white spot near middle of each 

 segment, and tips of third and fourth segments white on the sides ; legs black, knees, 

 middle of tibia and two bands on tarsus white, provided with erect white bristles. 

 Wings hyaline, veins black, longitudinal ones mostly interrupted with white, each 

 fore wing with about eleven prominent black spots, six along radius, between it and 

 the subcosta, one half way out on cubitus, one at fork of cubitus, two on upper fork of 

 cubitus, the last under last of radial series, and one at end of lower fork of cubitus, 

 where it meets the anal vein ; hind wings unmarked, venation brown. Prothorax 

 slender, legs slender, tibial spurs as long as first two joints of tarsus ; abdomen slender, 

 reaching scarcely to tip of hind wings. Anterior wings rather broad before tip, 

 scarcely falcate at tip ; hind ones narrower, but as long as fore wings, and rather more 

 falcate at tips. Anal vein ends as far out as origin of first fork of radial sector ; and 

 in hind wings, the anal vein does not go beyond fork of cubitus ; in fore wings are 

 three cross-veins basad of radial sector, in hind wings but two. Length 20 mm. 



Readily known from D. obsoletiis by smaller size, smaller spots 

 on wings, absence of marks on hind wings, and color of head, 

 thorax, and legs, as well as the presence of marks on the abdomen. 

 It agrees with that species in all essential points of venation, but 

 being smaller, has not as dense venation, especially in apical part. 



Brachynemurus dorsalis, sp. nov. 



Face yellowish, a dark brown interantennal mark, concave below, a pale trans- 

 verse band from eye to eye above antennae ; vertex brown, with a small pale band 

 on posterior margin not reaching the eyes. Antennse brown, annulate with pale, basal 

 joints pale. Pronotum brown on sides, with a broad, pale median stripe, rather 

 broader in front than behind, continued back on thorax, but rather broken by median 

 marks ; lateral lobes brown, with a pale dot just above base of wings ; mesoscutellum 

 with a median brown stripe ; legs pale, the femora dark brown near tips, especially 

 on outer side, tibia with a narrow band near middle and one at tip, and tarsus with 

 two dark bands. Abdomen dark brown, unmarked. Wings hyaline, veins brown 

 interrupted with pale, a distinct brown dot at tip of upper fork of cubitus toward
