Dendroleonini. 
Dendroleon. 
Brauer, Novarra-Expedition, Neuroptera, p. 42, 1866. 
Of the Dendroleonini this genus only (containing 
one European species) is known from Europe. 
Dendroleon pantherinus (Pl. I, fig. 3). 
Myrmeleon pantherinum Fabricius, Mant. Ins., p. 249. 
Dendroleon pantherinus Brauer, Verh. zool.—bot. Ge- 
sellsch. Wien, p. 963—966, 1867. 
The species seems to be very scarce wherever it is found. 
It is known from Austria, Hungary, Hesse, Silesia, Italy 
and Malta. 
Formicaleonini“). 
In the European genera of this tribe the anterior Bank- 
sian line is only slightly indicated, the posterior one, how- 
wever, is rather distinct in some genera. 
Table of genera. 
1. Wings very long and slender, more than five times as 
long as broad. The angle between Cuza and Culp 
very acute. The second branch from Cura arises much 
further out than the extreme point of Cusp. Nemoleon. 
Wings moderately long, about four times as long as 
broad. Cuza and Cuıp rather diverging, and the 
angle between them not so acute as in Nemoleon. 
The second branch from Cuwza arises almost at the 
levelROn the mextreme point Ol Cain. nern: 2: 

I cannot by any means follow Navas in dividing this tribe into two, 
the Formicaleonini and the Neuroleonini, owing to the difference in 
the length of the spurs. Firstly this character is so slight, especi- 
ally when also extra-European genera be taken into consideration, 
and secondly such a division will bring closely allied genera into 
separate tribes,
