The typical pilosellz differs from the var. nubigena by its less diaphanous 

 wings, less hairy and more metallic-shining hind-body, and by the red costal 

 streak not meeting or overlapping the discal streak. Pilosellce is widely dis- 

 tributed in Europe, and should occur in Scotland. Z. scabioscs Scheven, should 

 be looked for in July.
