This was considered by Walker as P. pardalinus Burtn. 

 McLachlan doubted it, and so named Walker's insect P. 

 brachypterus; but Hagen (who saw both) asserts that Walker's 

 insect is pardalinus B. It agrees with the Mymeleon bifasciatum 

 Olivier. 



Palpares spectrum Rambr. 



Figure — Navas, Rev. Zool. Afric, II, p. 37. 



The fourth anal of f . w. has two branches and two connections ; the 

 third anal of h. w. is simple, with one cross-vein to second, but none to 

 fourth anal. 



Palpares rothschildi Weele. 



Figure — Stitz, Figure 10. 



The fourth anal in f. w. has two branches and two connections; the 

 third anal in h. w. is simple, and one cross-vein to second anal. 



Very closely related to P. spectrum and probably but a 

 local variet}^ occuring northward of the range of P. spectrum. 



^ Palpares ovampoanus Pering. 



Figure — Peringuey, 1910, Plate VII, Figure 1. 



This is closely related to P. spectrum and will fall in the 

 subgenus Palparellus. I have not seen specimens in European 

 collections. 



Palpares translatus Walk. 



Figure— Plate XVIII, Figure 13. 



The third anal in h. w. is simple, and not connected to the fourth 

 anal. Antennse close together at base; subcosta not thickened, but in 

 general structure is closely related to Pamexis luteus. 



Palpares luteus Thunberg. (Pamexis) 



Figure— Plate XVI II, Figure 9. 



The third anal in h. w. is simple, and connected once to the fourth 

 anal. 



P. venosiis Burm. is the same; and Hagen asserts (and he has 

 examined both types) that P. conspucatus Burm. is also the 

 same species. The subcosta is thicl^ened in both sexes, other- 

 wise the species is related to P. translatus. There are specimens 

 in the Berlin, Brussels and British museums. 



Palpares contaminatus Hagen. 



Figure— Plate XVIII, Figure 4. 



This name was given by Hagen (Can. Entom. 1887, p. 112) 

 for P. pardalinus Rambur, not of Burmeister. I figure the 

 hind wing of the type. The subcosta of fore wing is not 

 thickened.
