XI. Neuroptera-Planipennia collected in Algeria by the Rev. 
A. E. Eaton. By Roperr McLacutay, F.RS., &e. 
[Read April 4th, 1898.] 
I HERE enumerate the species found by Mr. Eaton in 
various parts of Algeria, during his stay in that country 
from the end of 1892 to the middle of 1897, interrupted 
only by occasional short visits to England. Mention is 
occasionally made of materials from the same region from 
other sources, according to specimens in my collection, 
but only when the same species are concerned. 
The number of species is not large, but nearly every- 
thing is recorded from the country for the first time, and 
a few new species are described. 
The general aspect of the materials is Mediterranean 
with occasional extensions to Asia Minor and Central 
Asia. No Panorpide, Sialide, Rhaphidiide, Mantispide, 
or Dilaridz were found, but I have seen a Mantispa from 
‘ Algeria, and the other Families probably exist there. 
Much remains to be done in the forests of the higher 
districts. 
The Family Coniopterygide is not included. There is 
a considerable number of the minute insects representing 
this Family, and of four or five species, which will, I hope, 
receive attention in another paper. 
MYRMELEONID. 
Palpares hispanus, Hag. 
Hab. Médéa, north side of Koudia Sma, about 3,180 ft., 
and another locality in the vicinity, July 1893 ; Constantine 
in June 1895,2 f and 2 2. Probably it is distributed all 
over Algeria, and is the species noticed by Lucas as 
P. libelluloides. 
P. libelluloides has been recorded as occurring in Marocco, 
but in the Entomol. Monthly Mag., xxv, p. 346, when 
writing on Neuroptera captured by Mr. J. J. Walker in 
Marocco, I implied a doubt as to confusion with P. hispanus, 
and at the same time gave distinguishing characters for 
separating the two.
