Neuroptera collected in Algeria by the Rev. A. E. Eaton. 165 
Megalomus pyraloides, Rbr. 
Hab. El Biar near Algiers, 17th and 21st April, 1893, 
two examples. 
Larger than specimens from Sicily, but apparently not 
distinct. 
CHRYSOPIDA. 
Nothochrysa capitata, ¥. 
Hab. El Biar near Algiers, 21st April, 1893, one example 
in a spider’s web. 
Mr. Eaton did not find the striking JN. stigmatica, Rbr., 
which is widely distributed in Algeria. I possess an 
example from Bone (Pascoe) and several from Ain Séfra, 
South Oran (ZL. Blewse). Lucas records it from La Calle. 
Chrysopa clathrata, Schnd. 
Hab. Biskra, 25th March, 1895, one example discoloured 
and somewhat doubtful. 
I have an old specimen in my collection from Algeria, 
without locality, that is more typical. 
Chrysopa genet, Rbr. 
Hab. Biskra, 25th April and 8th May, 1894, 15th, 21st 
and 24th April, 1895, chiefly at light.

distinct crescentic brownish mark on the disk anterior to the
