condensed accounts, especially for Myrmeleonidce and Ascalaphidce. A 
new feature is the separation of Sisyra as a distinct sub-family — termed 
Sisyrina — on account of larval peculiarities.

Exhibits in a collected form all that has been written concerning the 
earher stages, with very many original observations. Much is necessarily 
left doubtful, owing to the perfect insects not having been bred. De- 
scriptions, more or less complete, or notes, are given concerning the 
following: — Ascalaphus macaronius, coccajus, and longicornis, Puer 
maculatuSj TlieleproctophyUa barbara, Hybris subjacens, Suphalasca sp., 
HeUcomitiis (?) sp., Glyptobasis (?) sp., Ulula macleayana, U. senex, and 
another doubtful, Haploglenius several doubtful. The paper concludes 
with a tabulated and condensed summary of the whole subject. 
Myrmeleonidce. 
McLachlan, R. Notes sur les Myrmeleonides decrites par 
M. le Dr. Rambur. Ann. Ent. Belg. xvi. pp. 127-141. 
The determinations are, for the most part, identical with those pre- 
viously given by Hagen, but much is left doubtful owing to the confused 
state of the group. 
H. A. Hagen, S. E. Z. xxxiv. pp. 249-295, 377-398, gives an exhaustive 
account of the present state of our knowledge of the earlier stages of 
this family, with detailed descriptions, and differentiated summarized 
sketches. He describes, more or less confidently, the larvae of 21 species, 
belonging to the genera Palpares, Acanthaclisis, Dendroleon, Formicaleo, 
MyrmeccpAurus^ Glenurus, Macronemurus, Gymnocnemia, and Myrmeleon. 
McLachlan, ' Neuropterologisches,' S. E.Z. xxxiv. pp. 444-451, follows 
with descriptions of the larvae of Palpares liispanus and P. latipennis (?) ; 
and he replies to objections raised by Hagen to Wallengren's, and his 
determination of the Jjinnesin Myrmeleon formicarius SiS equivalent to the 
M.formicalynx of modern authors. He proposes to re-name the formi- 
carius of modern authors as M. europceus. Cf. also Ann. Ent. Belg. xvi.
