Havine received a clearly distinct species of Stylops, though in 
a very mutilated state, from Mr. George B. Sowerby, F. L.S. I am 
desirous of giving some account of it by way of appendix to my : 
Paper on Strepsiptera, and shall begin by describing it as far as 
its condition enabled me.

This species is not only much smaller than Stylops Melitte, but 
it is also strikingly distinguished from it by its subsessile eyes 
and slender antennz. From its mutilated state it was pousse 
to give a more detailed description. | 
In a specimen of the pupa of Stylops Melitta, sent by the same 
gentleman for my inspection, the membrane for three-fourths of 
, the length down the back appeared to be loose in the middle, 
and was divided into six segments by transverse impressed lines. 
This I imagine is the rugose part in Tab. IX. fig. 17.
