168 TYPES OF NEUKOPTERA. 



the same species from the collection of the late Mr. van 

 Eyndhoven, but without indication of their fatherland. These 

 specimens are in much better condition but cannot have 

 been seen by Olivier. 1 found that they all fully agree 

 with Olivier's description and also with that of Rambur's 

 and Burmeister's pardalinus. As Burmeister's pardalinus 

 has been very shortly described by the author, Taschenberg 

 has published in the »Zeitschrift fur die Gesammten Na- 

 turwissenschaften, Bd. 52, 1879, p. 184" a more detailed 

 description of it, which description likewise agrees with 

 the above quoted type-specimen. — All the specimens I 

 have seen are males. The type-specimen has still remainders 

 of the pelottes, which is one of the male-characters of the 

 Pa/parés-species. It may be that Mac Lachlan's Palpares 

 brachypterus is a 9 of ^^^ same species. 



Myrmeleon sinuatum Oliv. The type of this species is in 

 a very bad condition : the wings only exist and they are 

 moreover damaged at their base. Tbey are gummed upon 

 a piece of paper. I found that the markings are quite the 

 same as Gerstacker describes for his haematog aster ; the 

 yellow pterostigma however is not to be seen, but 1 think 

 it is discoloured by the hand of time. Seba's figure of this 

 insect is very badly drawn and the hindwings do not show 

 the waved hindborder, whereas the forewings are too much 

 sinuated. It is however impossible that the figure can 

 represent another species. The specimen in the Leyden 

 Museum bears on the label of origin: »Calkoen, Africa 

 meridionalis".
