JNT.B. — It would be interesting to know the approximate northern 

 limit of this species in France. Karnbur (p. 329) says '* elle se ren- 

 contre aussi dans une grande partie de la France," but he cites only 

 southern districts, such as the Pyrenees, Limousin, &c. I possess it 

 only from the Iberian Peninsula and the French Pyrenees. 

 Palpares hispanus, Hagen. — Gibraltar, 23rd June ; San Roque, 13th 



July ; Algeciras, 4th and 6th June ; 4 $ , 2 ? . 

 JST.R. — Vide the notes appended to the species from Marocco, infra. 



Creagris plumbeus, Oliv. — Gibraltar, 23rd June ; 3 examples, 



Creagris v-nigrum, Ramb. — Cork Woods, 14th July; 1 example. 



Mgrmeccelurus trigrammus, Pallas. — Gibraltar, 7th and 8th July ; 1 £ ,

 Macronemurus appendiculatus, Latr. — San Roque and Cork Woods, 



7th, 14th, and 19th July ; 2 $, 1 ? . 



Macronemurus ? sp . — Gibraltar, 7th September; 1 example. I am 

 obliged to leave this undetermined, and am not quite sure that it 

 truly belongs to the genus. It is of small size, and remarkable for two 

 approximate fine parallel median dusky lines on the pronotum. 



Myrmeleon nemausiensis, Borkkausen. — Cork Woods, 7 July ; 1 exam- 

 ple. Notwithstanding some slight omissions in Borkhausen's origi- 

 nal description (Scriba's Beitrage, ii, p. 162, pi. xi, fig. 6), which is 

 not detailed, I feel sure this insect is that intended by him, and his 

 figure gives a good idea of it, especially as regards the very narrow 

 wings and the two blackish oblique streaks on the anterior. I possess 

 the species also from Montpellier (the type was from Nimes), Pyre- 

 nees, and the Island of Sardinia. It is also, I have little doubt, the 

 same as M. litturatum, Oliv. (Encyc. Method., viii, p. 127), from the 

 South of France, &c, and M. variegatus, Ramb. (p. 400), equally 

 from the South of France ; but it cannot be identical with M. 

 variegatus, Klug (Symb. Phys., iv, pi. xxx, fig. 4), from Arabia, es- 

 pecially on account of the markings of the thorax and abdomen on 

 the latter : Rambur's description was drawn up from the French 

 example.* Costa's M. variegatus (Faun. Reg. JN"ap.) agrees much 

 better with Klug's species according to his description and figure, and 

 does not agree with the insect I refer to M. nemausiensis, Borkh. 



There still exists much confusion amongst the smaller South 

 European or Mediterranean Myrmeleonidce. Some years ago I received 



* I possess a small Myrmeleon from Wady Nash, in the Peninsula of Sinai, that appears to be 

 certainly Klug's variegatus, and quite distinct from nemausiensis, Bork.
