lull] Notes on African Myrmeleonida 29 



Wings hyaline, with large black marks; forewings with dots along the 

 upper edge of the subcosta along both sides of the cubitus, to the fork, 

 and along the lower branch of the fork; many dots near the posterior 

 and outer margin; two oblique narrow black bands, both begin at the 

 radius, one before the middle and one beyond the middle, this latter is 

 broken near tip, and reaches in a line to the hind margin; an oblique 

 apical streak black, and including several white crossveins, a dark mark 

 before and one beyond the white stigma. Hind wings with some dots 

 along the subcosta, a rather broad oblique dark band before the middle, 

 beginning at the radius and with a curved tip, not reaching across wing; 

 a large dark spot before the stigma, and behind it on the hind margin are 

 two narrow upward streaks, the inner one forked, a short apical dark 

 streak, and some dark dots along the outer margin; venation of both 

 pairs mostly pale, except dark spots on the radial sector and cubitus. 

 Wings rather broad, nol verj long, not acute at tips; three or four cro 

 veins before radial sector in forewing, about nine branches to radial 

 sector in each wing, the anal region of both pairs is very broad, in the 

 hind wing the post-anal extends out quite a- long distance, and has five 

 1 (ranches to the margin. Abdomen shorter than the wings ( in the male) , 

 the male appendages are extremely long, fully one-half as long as the 

 abdomen, curved downward, and parallel.

Peringuey has recently described* two species which are 

 closely related to E. fascipennis. He made for them a new genus, 

 Palparidius, but his figure shows it is the same as Echthromyr- 

 mex. His P. capicola has the stigmal mark of the hind wings 

 entire, not broken up into three spots as in E. fascipennis; 

 his P. concinnus has this stigmal mark broken up, but the median 

 band is very narrow, and not hooked at end; there are several 

 other differences in maculation. The male appendages of E. 

 fascipennis appear to be much longer than in either of Perin- 

 guey's species.
