Palpares libelluloides (Pl. II, fig. 2). 
Myrmeleon libelluloides Linné, Syst. Nat., Ed. XII, p. 913. 
The species is known from all the countries on the 
northern shores of the Mediterranean. I have also seen 
it from Caucasus, Abyssinia and Asia minor. 
Palpares hispanus. 
Hagen, Stett. Ent. Zeitg., p. 40, 1860. 
This species resembles the former very much; but it 
is of smaller size, and its wings are broader and shorter. 
The dark markings on the wings are more pronounced, 
and the irrorations on the anterior ones more numerous. 
The species is known from the Iberian peninsula and 
from the opposite coast of Africa. 
I possess it from Spain and Oran.
