256 A NATURALIST IN THE TRANSVAAL. 



wet after heavy rains and floods. The genus Palpopleura I 

 could only find represented by one species (P. jucunda) around 

 Pretoria. Ant-lions also are somewhat scarce, frequenting the 

 open veld, and I never saw but one species of Palpares 

 (P. coffer) in the district of Pretoria, and, at all events, this is 

 the dominant and representative species. The time and 

 manner of appearance in the winged form of Termes angustatus 

 has already been described (ante, p. 49). 



I received much assistance from Mr. W. F. Kirby in iden- 

 tifying the species of Libellulinae, and Mr. R. McLachlan kindly 

 named two species of Ant-lions belonging to the collection.
