The specimens before me are from Northern Sahara, 
from almost the same locality as Navas mentions. 
I have no doubt as to the correctness of my deter- 
mination, although both MacLachlan, Hagen and Navas 
state that no spurs are present. I think they have used 
only a usual magnifying-glass.

Maracanda saharica Navas, loc. cit. p. 457, fig. 9. 
My specimens agree in every respect with the de- 
scription, given by Navas, and on the other hand they 
agree also very well with that, given by Mac Lachlan, 
as well as with the figure on the plate. The only thing 
I have to add is that my specimens are somewhat paler, 
but I think it is due to the fact that they have been kept 
in alcohol. I think there is some possibility that the two 
other species (lineata and stigmalis) described by Navas 
. from the same locality may also prove to be the same 
species; but at present my materiel is not sufficient to 
decide the question. 
It seems to me that it is not remarkable that we find 
the same species in North Africa and in West Asia; it is 
the case in several insects within the Neuroptera. Here 
we have already dealt with Lopezus fedtschenkoi and 
Cueta lineosa. 
When I record the species as belonging to the Euro- 
pean Fauna it is due to the fact, that Hagen (Canadian 
Entomologist, p. 210, 1887) writes: „I possess a couple 
of M. imbecillus Stein from Montenegro, Europe, which 
agree entirely with M.amoena, and can not be identified 
with any other described species.“.
