Neuroptera collected in Algeria by the Rev. A. BE. Eaton, 153 
4 black transverse fascie, viz.: (1) a reniform spot placed just be- 
yond the fork of the lower cubitus, (2) a band before the middle, 
starting from the radius, dilated in its lower portion (not reaching 
the inner margin), and sometimes emitting a process directed to- 
wards the base, (3) a broad band starting from the costal edge, and 
extending more or less to the inner margin (where it is often con- 
nected with the row of spots), very irregular on its inner side, and 
often produced in a K-shaped manner, (4) an apical band more or 
less broken up by spots of the whitish ground. 
Length of body, ¢ with the appendages 61mm. Expanse 107 
mm. Greatest breadth of anterior wing 14 mm. 
Hab. Biskra, 11th and 15th June, 1897, 2 f. 
Mr. Eaton notes that it rests by day on shrubs, but 
easily takes alarm, and then mounts in the air out of 
sight. 
P. angustus, var. oranensis, nov. 
Differs from the type from Biskra in its slightly larger size, the 
black points on the anterior wings larger and more numerous, the 
fasciate bands broader and more distinct, much more so in the 
posterior wings. 
‘In the 2 the abdomen is apparently wholly olivaceous, femora 
externally olivaceous. Wings broader, the pattern of the markings 
essentially asin the ¢, but the transverse bands are broader and 
more distinct, especially in the posterior, where band 3 forms a very 
broad irregular K. 
Length of body, ¢ with appendages 65—66 mm., 9 45 mm. 
Expanse ¢ 112—120 mm., ? 126 mm. Greatest breadth of anterior 
wing § 19mm. 
Hab. Méchéria, Oran (LZ. Bleuse), 2 $1 2. 
The character of the markings of the wings is extremely 
unstable both in the type form and variety, and is seldom 
alike on the opposing wings of the same individual. 
This species seems to be distinctly related to P. patiens, 
Wik., from India, LP. walkeri, McLach., from Aden, P. 
solidus, Gerst., from Mesopotamia, and probably also to 
P. cephalotes, Klug, and P. papilionoides, Klug, from Arabia. 
Gymnocnemia variegata, Schnd. (Aplectrocnemia multi- 
punctata, Costa). 
Hab. Médéa, between Dakela and Lodi, one example.
