1913] Neuropterous Genus Palpares. ■ 180 



Palpares solidus Gerst. 



Figure — Plate XIX, Figure 20; and Navas (as klapaleki). 



The fourth anal in f. w. is two or three branched, and with two of 

 three connections; the third anal in h. w. is simple, with one cross-vein 

 to second. 



Palpares tigroides Walk. 



Figure— Plate XX, Figure 34. 



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

 fourth anal. Legs black; fore wings with hardly any marks, rather 

 yellowish. 



Palpares astutus Walk. 



Figure— Plate XIX, Figure 19. 



The fourth anal of f. w. with two branches, and two cross-veins; 

 the third anal of h. w. simple, with one cross-vein to second. It belongs 

 to the subgenus Palparellus. 



STENARES. 

 (including Crambomorphus .) 



1. Outer margin of wings strongly sinuate {Cramhomorphus) 2. 



Outer margin of wings not plainly sinuate {Stenares) 3. 



2. Hind wings pale with two large bands well separated, and apex marked. . . . 



grandidieri Weele. 



Hind wings with the bands so large they are connected and cover most of 



surface, leaving only pale spots sinuatum Oliv. 



3. Hind wings with all the bands broad and connected, leaving only pale spots. . 



madagascariensis . 

 Hind wings not so heavily marked 4. 



4. No stigmal spot in hind- wings, a streak along outer edge, and sometimes a few 



dots before it; wings very narrow; in hind wings costals at bas^ are crossed. 



hycBna. 

 A stigmal spot reaching nearly one-half way across ,5. 



5. A spot on hind wings just beyond the cubital fork, also large median band; 



wings broad; in hind wings the costals are mostly simple irroratus. 



No spot on hind wings near the cubital fork, but median spots (or band) are 

 sometimes present; in the hind wings the costals are mostly crossed. . . .6. 



6. Larger; apical mark of the hind wings in the form of two streaks. . . .improbus. 

 Smaller; apical mark of the hind wings entire, or partly broken, not in form 



of streaks harpyia. 



In S. hyaena, irroratus, improbus and harpyia the third 

 anal of h, w. runs into the second, with one or three cross- 

 veins before; all have a pale pronotum with a median black 

 stripe, and all have black legs, 



Stenares (Crambomorphus) grandidieri Weele. 

 Figure — Weele, Madagascar, Fig. 2. 



Differs much in markings from S. sinuatiis; fully half of the 

 hind wing is hyaline; the wings are also much broader than in 

 that species, but the hind wing shows the same costal swelling 

 at apex. The anal venation is similar to that of S. sinuatus, 

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

 fourth anal.
