Neuroptera collected in Algeria by the Rev. A. E. Eaton. 157 
In addition to M. oulianini, I may cite the curious 
Myrmecelurus fedtschenkoi, McLach., which occurs in the 
Province of Oran in a slightly modified form. 
M. oulianini is so closely allied to the Indian JZ. morosus, 
Walk., as to induce a suspicion that it may be only a 
form thereof. JL. infensus, Walk., also from India, would 
be a generic ally on a subdivision, as would certain South 
African species, such as JZ. trivirgatus, Gerst., &c. 
Myrmeleon distinguendus, Rbr. 
Hab. Biskra, 3rd June, 1894, two examples, larger than 
others from Portugal (?) and Marocco in my collection. 
This insect might be overlooked as a small Creagris 
were it not for the neuration and spurs. Schneider, Stett. 
ent. Zeit., vi, queries this species as identical with J. 
cinereus, Klug ; I think the identity very probable.
