1913] Neuropterous Genus Palpares. 179 



P. cemulus Pering is, I think, the same species, and it is also 

 figured by Calvert, Proc, Acad., Nat., Sci., Phil. 1899, plate 

 X, fig. 2. 



Palpares abyssinicus Kolbe. 



The third anal of h. w. is simple, and no cross vein to fourth. 



This species is very close, if not identical, with P. nyicanus, 

 the spots are arranged in oblique streaks. 



Palpares sparsus McLach. 



Figure — Peringuey, 1911, p. 32, Figure 2. 



The third anal of h. w. is simple, and no connection to fourth anal, 

 but one to second. The fourth anal in f. w. is once or twice forked, 

 and with two cross- veins. No band below antennge. 



Palpares radiatus Rambr. 



Figure — Rambur, original. 



The fourth anal in f. w. with three or four branches, and two or 

 three cross-veins; the third anal in h. w. runs into the second anal. 

 The male appendages (Fig. 40) are curved and as long as the last seg- 

 ment, and enlarged a little at tip. There is no band under the antennae. 



There are but few specimens of this in European collections. 



Palpares incommodus Walk. 



Figure — Plate XVIII, Figure 2, and by Stitz (nibescens) and by Navas (as 

 rieli) . 



The third anal of h. w. appears to run into the second, two cross- 

 veins behind to the fourth anal. In fore wings there is no line near 

 the outer margin parallel thereto, but oblique streaks outward. 



P. costatiis Navas is also this same species as well as P. rieli 

 and P. rubescens wStitz. 



Palpares latipennis Rambur. 



Figure— Plate XVIII, Figure 1. 



The fourth anal of f. w. has three or four branches and four or five 

 cross-veins to the third anal. The third anal of h. w. is simple, with 

 several cross-veins to the second and one or two to the foiuth anal. 



The P. furfuraceus of Walker (not of Rambur) is this species, 

 Walker's identification of P. cephalotes is also this species. P. 

 prcBtor Gerst. is this species. 



Palpares inclemens Walk. 



Figure— Plate XVIII, Figure 5. 



The third anal of h. w. runs into the second anal and with one or 

 two cross-veins to fourth. The fourth anal of f. w. has three or four 

 branches and four cross-veins to the third. 



Sometimes the basal spot of hind wings is narrowly connected to 

 the median. The wings especially the front pair are slightly sinuated 

 on the outer margin.
