Several species are described and stated to belong to 
the European Fauna, but much confusion exists in the 
litterature concerning the synonymy. At present I am not 
able to clear up the questions, but I hope that the photos, 
here given, may contribute somewhat to the solution of 
the problem. ) 
Creagris plumbea. 
Myrmeleon plumbeus Olivier, Encycl. Meth. VIII, p. 126. 
This species has a long row of synonymic names. 
It is spread over the whole of the Mediterranean Region, 
and I have seen the insect from several localities. 
Creagris V-nigrum (Pl. IV, fig. 13). 
Myrmeleon V-nigrum Rambur, Hist. nat. Insectes, Nev- 
ropteres, p. 394, 1842. 
Rambur remarks: „Je l’ai découvert en Andalusie, 
dans les environs de Malaga“. I do not know the species, 
but I give here a photo of the wings of the type-specimen. 
Creagris submaculosa (Pl. V, fig. 14). 
Myrmelen submaculosus Rambur, Hist. nat. Insectes, 
Nevropteres, p. 396, 1942. 
Creagris corsica (Brauer), Hagen. 
Rambur remarks that he has taken the species „dans 
les environs de Malaga“. In my collection I have two 
specimens from Spain, received from Navas under the 
name of C. V-nigrum; these two specimens I suppose to 
be. what Rambur names submaculosa. I follow Brauer 
(Festschr. zool.— bot. Gesellsch., Wien, p. 289, 1872) in re- 
garding Creagris corsica as a synonym of submaculosa. 
In „Stett. entom. Zeitung“, p. 43, 1860, Hagen remarks 
that he has received from Brauer specimens, taken in 
Corsica, under the name Myrmeleon corsicus (no description 
is given by Brauer); in ibid. p.364 he also gives a note 
about the Corsican specimens, but in „Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr.“, 
p. 42, 1864 he yet gives a few supplementary notes.
