This Myrmeleon forms a group of itself, and differs in structure 

 from all the preceding species. Dark ferruginous, rather stout, 

 clothed with blackish hairs, testaceous beneath : head pitchy ; face 

 and palpi testaceous : antennae black, filiform, a little longer than

 as the four first joints of the tarsi : wings grayish, narrow, very long, 

 slightly pointed at the tips ; stigma whitish ; veins black, some of 

 them with testaceous or with white bands, here and there wholly 

 white ; subcostal areolets divided by transverse veinlets from near 

 the base to the stigma, many of their veins forked towards the stig-
