1913] Neuropterous Genus Palpares. 185 



Palpares stuhlmanni Kolbe. 



Figure — Kolbe, Figure 1. 



Closely related to P. speciosus, at least in the male append- 

 ages; the marks are similar to those of P. timbrosus; the venation 

 is as in P. speciosus 



Palpares damarensis McLach. 



Figure — Plate XVIII, Figure 11, and Stitz (as bifasciatus). 



Fourth anal' in f. w. with two or three branches and two cross- 

 veins; third anal of h. w. simple, no connection to the fourth. Black 

 hair on clypeus; legs all black; head all dark, except pale clypeus. 



Palpares formosus Banks.' 



Figure — Plate XIX, Figure 23; also Navas in Broteria X, p. 85, Figure 16. 



Fourth anal in f. w. with one short branch, and one cross-vein; 

 third anal of h. w. simple with one cross-vein to second and none to the 

 fourth. 



Palpares festivus Gerst. 



Figure — Peringuey (as mosamhicus) , and Navas (as latro). 

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

 Legs black. 



Palpares elegantulus Pering. 



Figure — Peringuey 1910, Plate VII, Figure 4. 



This small slender-winged species is apparently very dis- 

 tinct; I have not seen it, but it appears related to the fiavofascia- 

 tus group. 



Palpares flavofasciatus McLach. 



Figures — Peringuey (as genialis); Stitz (as gtittatus); and Navas (as nyassensis) 

 The third anal in h. w. is simple and no connection to the fourth 

 anal. Legs black. 



In P. nyassensis the bands are a little wider than in the other 

 types, but a series of specimens show^s much variation in this 

 point. 



Palpares compositus Navas. 



Figure — Navas (and also as mistus). 



Closely related to flavofasciatus, but with the bands of hind 

 wings much broader and connected. P. mistus Navas appears 

 to be the same form. It is in the Berlin Museum under a 

 manuscript name that I cannot find has ever been published. 



Palpares bifasciatus Oliv. 



Figure— Plate XVIII, Figure 6. 



Fourth anal in f. w. with two branches, and two cross-veins; the 

 third anal of h. w. simple, connected about four times to the second and 

 twice to the fourth. A broad black band under antennse; abdomen 

 pale yellowish red; thorax with two rows of yellow spots.
