LIST OF KEUROPTERA I>^ ERITTSII MUSEUM. 279 



M. iNNOTATus, p. 371, 123 =Myrmeleonformicalynx, L. Teste exemp. 

 typ. in collect. Linn. 



* M. iNCONSPicuus, p. 372, \25=: Myrmeleon Leachii, Guilding. 



^ M. Leachii, p. 373, 127 =Myrmeleon Leachii, Guilding. 



M. TRiSTis, p. 373, 12S = Myrmeleon tristis, Walker. 



M. LETHALis, p. 374, \29 = Myrmeleon lethalis, Walker, i. e. the speci- 

 men bearing the label " lethalis ; " the other two are very different and 

 = Formicaleo leucospilos, Hagen. 



M. LETHiFER, p. 374, 130 = My rmeleoTi lethifer, Walker. 



M. SECRETUS, p. 375, 131 = Myrmeleon aJternans, Brulle. The speci- 

 men is smaller than examples of alternans taken by Wollaston in 

 Madeira, and the markings of the head differ very slightly. 



M. iMPLEXus, p. 376, \32 = MyrmeccBlurus implexus, Walker. 



M. ExiTiALis, p. 376, \33 = Myrmeleon exitialis. Walker. 



M. ACUTUS, p. 377j \3A = Myrmeleon acutus, Walker. 



V M. TECTUS, p. 378, 135 = Myrmeleon fec^ws, Walker. Doubtfully distinct 

 from 31. immaculatus, D. G., Hagen. 



M. ASPER, p. 378, l36=Myrmeleon asper, Walker. 



M. iNVisus, p. 379, VSI = Myrmeleon asper, Walker. 



M. MALiGNUs, p. 380, \3'd= Myrmeleon malignus, Walker. 



M. FiCTUs, p. 380, 139 = Myrmeleon malignus, Walker, 



M. iMMANis, p. 381, \40 = Myrmeleon immanis, Walkei'. 



M. s^vus, p. 381, l4l=Myrmeleon scevus, Walker. Closely allied to 

 M. punctatus, F., teste exemp. typ. in coll. Banks, but with a 

 differently shaped prothorax. 



H. punctatus is said to inhabit "India orientalis;" but I know 

 no species tbence which will agree with Fabricius's type. It 

 is well known that the localities in the old authors are rather 

 uncertain ; and I believe that M. punctatus comes from South 

 Africa. I have an example from that quarter, which is specifically 

 identical with the type. 



The following is a description of it : — 



Myrmeleon punctatus, Fab. 



Flavus, nigro vittatus. Antennae fuscse, indistincte pallide annulatse, arti- 

 culo basali in fronte flavo semicincto ; clava subtus ochracea. Caput 

 flavum, inter antennas late nigrum ; occipite vitta media punctisque 

 quatuor nigris ; fronte macula media piceo-nigra ; palpis flavis, arti-
