MB. E. M'lACHLAK ON. NEW SEECIES ETC. OF NEUEOPTEEA. 243 



margined with black on each side, the space between the last and the 

 extreme apex black spotted with yellow ; the dorsal margin is occupied 

 with black and yellow alternate spaces ; neuration for the most part 

 blackish, but yellow in the j'^ellow fascise and spots. Posterior wings 

 similar in form to the anterior, very slightly narrower and shorter ; 

 white, more transparent in the basal fourth ; three broad and irregular 

 transverse black fascise, one rather before the middle, trifurcate on the 

 dorsal margin, another following this and somewhat similar in form, 

 and the third occupying the apex and enclosing a large yellow spot ; 

 some of the costal veinlets, and the point where the postcosta joins 

 the dorsal margin, blackish. Legs shining black, with black spines and 

 a few whitish hairs ; tibial spurs as long as the first three tarsal joints, 

 and with the claws dark shining brown. Abdomen very slender, fuscous, 

 slightly pubescent; appendices widely diverging, curved, black, some- 

 what clavate at the tips. 

 I possess one male example of this beautiful species from 

 Damara Land. It appears to be somevphat allied to Falpares spec- 

 trum, Eambur. The unfortunate absence of the head precludes 

 a correct estimation of its generic position. 



"f- G-enus Ceambomokphtjs, n. g. 



I propose this name for the Palpares Jicematog aster of Grerst- 

 aecker, which may be thus generically diagnosed. 



Antennas longe clavatae. Palpi labiales robusti, articulo ultimo 

 longe clavato, valde incrassato. Prothorax brevis, transversus. 

 Caput thoraxque valde hirsuta. Alae anticse posticseque fere 

 sequales, coriacese, elongatse, perangustse, subfalcatse ; marginibus 

 apicali dorsalique late sinuatis ; area costali ad basin paulo 

 dilatata, biareolata, postquam uniareolata ; posticae postcosta 

 furcata, anastomosi marginali ramo recurvo. Pedes breves, 

 robusti, calcaribus paulo curvatis. 



This genus should probably come next to Stenares. 



I have little doubt that C. Ticematog aster is the same as Myrmeleon 

 sinuatum, of Olivier, 'Encyc. Method.' viii. p. 121, 4. I possess 

 one example from Damara Land. 



-' Genus Echtheomtemex, n. g. 

 Antennae graciles, clava acuminata. Alse maculatse, ad basin 

 augustatse, ad apicem valde dilatatse, rotundatse ; area costali 

 uniareolata ; subcosta et radio ad apicem fortiter curvatis ; 

 venulis transversalibus pernumerosis ; areolis fere quadratis : 

 posticcd postcosta simplici. Pedes breves, valde spinosi, calcaribus 

 tarsorum articulo 1° sequalibus ; plantula magna, penicillata.
