ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
South-African species with Myrmeleon pmctatus (Fab.), and gives a descrip- 
tion of it (/. c. p. 279). 
Braubr. remarks (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 619-620) that 
Myrmeleon mmatwn (Oliv.) is the species figured by Seba (Thes. pi. 86. fig. 
6), and is very nearly allied to Palpares hcematogaater (Gerst.), both belonging 
to the genus Stemres. Brauer also states that in Acanthaclisis fundata 
(yf oX\L,)=fallax (Ramb.) the spurs are only bent and not geniculate, so that 
a new character is wanting for the genua. 
Brauer (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 963-966, pi. 14. fig. 3) 
describes and figures the larva of Dendroleon pantherinus (Fab.), and indicates 
the general characters of the known larvee of insects of this family. 
Crambomorphus, g. n., M‘Lachlan, Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. Zool. p. 243. 
Allied to Stei^ares) labial palpi robust, last joint clavate, much thickened j 
head and thorax very hairy j wings nearly equal, coriaceous, elongate, sub- 
falcate, dorsal and apical margins broadly sinuate ; costal area biareolate at 
base j postcosta in hind wings furcate, marginal anastomosis with a recurved 
branch. Sp. Palpares hcematogaster (Gerst.) = probably M. sinuatum (Oliv.). 
JEchthromyrmex, g. n., M^Lachlan, 1. c. p. 243. Allied to Dimares ; antennae 
slender, club acuminate j wings spotted, narrowed at base, much dilated and 
rounded at apex, costal area uniareolate, transverse veins very numerous, 
cells quadrate j posterior with the postcosta simple ; legs short, very spi- 
nous, spiu’s equal to joint 1 of tarsi. Sp. B. platypteruSf sp. n., hFLachl, 
1. c. p. 244, Bagdad.

HEMEROBIIDiE. 
M^Lachlan, in his revision of the species of this group cited in Walker’s 
Catalogue (Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. Zool. pp. 261-273), gives the following 
synonymic indications: — 'WdXkQv’& Mantispa prolixa is not proUxa (Erichs.) j 
M. pagana^aiyriaca (Poda) j M, perla is doubtful; M. hiseriata is the type 
of a new genus, Ditaxis Raphidia varia^Trichoscelia varia 
myrapetrella (Westw.); the latter name must be retained, as there is already 
a M. varia (Erichs.) ; Hoplophora belongs to the Mantidao ; Nymphea extra- 
neus is probably a Myiodactylus \ N. sejunctus is also a MyiodactyluSy and is 
described in detail (/. c. p. 263) ; Osmylus chrysops=:macidatus (Fab.) ; O. 
atrigatus is the type of a new genus, Pom/n as j 0. validus=Polystcechotes 
punctatua (Fab.) ; O. te^mis is the type of the new genus Stenosmylus j Chry- 
aopa vittata is mixed ; C. concolor=iC 07 igrua (Walk.); C. vulgaris is mixed; 
C. divtsa = collaris (Schn.) ; C. hyhrida is not hyhrida (Schu.) ; C. intemata 
^ampla (Walk.) ; C. signata= ramhurii (Schn.); C. transversa—? var. col- 
laris (Schn.) ; C. ahhreviata is not ahhreviata ( ) J C. laiipennis^ypsUon
