1913] Neuropterous Genus Palpares. 181 



Palpares reticulatus Stitz. 



Figure — Navas, with original description (as extensus). 



The third anal in h. w. has one cross- vein to the fourth 

 anal. The description of Stitz seems to have the priority. 



Palpares obsoletus Gerst. 



Figure — Plate XX, Figure 43, and Navas (as nebulo). 



The fourth anal of f . w. has three or four branches and two connec- 

 tions to the third; in h. w. the third anal is simple, with one or two 

 cross-veins to the second and none to the fourth. There is a black 

 band below the antennae. 



Palpares normalis Navas. 



Figure — Navas, with original description. 



I have not seen this species, but it appears to be good, so 

 long as species are based on markings. 



Palpares geniculatus Navas. 



Figure — Navas (with description.) 



I have not seen it, but apparently distinct. 



Palpares klugi Kolbe. 



Figure — Klug, Plate, Figure 3 (unnamed). 



Fourth anal in f. w. with two branches and connected three times 

 to third; the third in h. w. runs into second and then away, with a 

 cross-vein before. 



Palpares tristis Hag. 



Figure — Hagen, Mozambique and Kolbe. Plate XXI, Figure 51, appendages. 



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

 cross-veins; the third anal in h. w. simple, with a soinewhat oblique 

 cross-vein to the second anal. Nearh^ always there is a spot beyond 

 the cubital fork in the h. w. 



The varieties niansanus Kolbe, and brevifasciatus and ugan- 

 danus of Stitz are structurally very similar to the type form, 

 but brevifasciatus is perhaps closer to interioris. 



Palpares interioris Kolbe. 



Figure— Plate XXI, Figure 49. 



The fourth anal of f. w. has two or three branches, and two, or 

 three cross-veins; the third anal of h. w. is simple, with two connections 

 to the second. The marks are very similar to those of obsoletus, but 

 that species is larger than interioris, and the body markings somewhat 

 different. 



Palpares lentus Navas. 



Figure — Plate XXI, Fig. 47, Navas, original description. 



Third anal of h. w. simple, one cross-vein to the second, none to 

 fourth anal. A black band below antenncc. Male appendages short, 

 Fig. 36.
