AVallengren, Sv. Ak. Hantll. ix. (No. 8) pp. 1-76, in tliclsfc 
part of his ^ Skandinaviens Neuroptera^ (reviewed Ent. M. M. 
viii. p. 188), publishes a most carefully elaborated monograph 
of the Scaudinaviaii species of this division, 52 in number (of 
which 2 are new), distributed as follows: — Myrmeleonidcs 1, 
Hemeroh'iidoi 39, ConiopterygidcR 2, 8ialid(n 6, Fanorpidai 4. 
Brauer (Verli. z.-b. AVien, xxi. pp. 107-116) publishes some observations 
upon the metamorphoses and economy of certain species of this division, 
Sialid(S, 
Sialis fuligmosa occurs in the lake-districts of England (M^Lachlan, Ent, 
M. M. viii. p. 39) and atBraemar (F. B, White, ibid, p, 05). 
Ascalaphidm, 
The Recorder (P. L. S. xi. pp. 219-276) has published An 
attempt towards a systematic classification of the family 
Ascalaphid(s,^^ prefaced by remarks on habits, geographical 
distribution, &c. He divides the group into 27 genera, of which 
many are new, and remodels the arrangement proposed pre^ 
viously by Hagen, especially as regards Lefebvre’s sectional 
partitions proposed in 1842. 
Ilaploglenius (Burm.) is retained for Biirmeister’s tjpical species and 
many others, distinguished especially by the prothoracic valve of the cl; aud 
the wings being expanded horizontally in repose. Ptynx (Lefebv.) includes 
appcndicidatus, Fab., and a new species. Cordulccerus (Ramb.) includes 
Surinamensis, Fab., vulpecida, Burm., and others. Ulula and Colohopterus 
(Ramb.) are retained as limited by their author, with the additional species 
since described. Orpline (Lefebv.) includes impavida, Walk., and viacrocerca, 
Burm. Suplialasca (Lefebv.) is restricted to the Australian Leach, 
and allies, but in it are grouped provisionally several species of uncertain 
position. JBubo (Ramb.) and Thdeproctophylla (Lefebv.) remain as defined 
by their authors. Oncogaster (AVestw.) tessellata and segmentator, 
AVestw. Acheron (Lefebv.) is limited to longus, Walk., witli which are 
grouped several others of AA^alker’s species as conditions or sexual forms. 
Hyhris (Lefebv.) includes javana, Burm., and allies. Proctarrelabis * (Lefebv.)
