Length : male, 5 mm. ; female, 6 mm. 



Thoracic bands yellow : central band long and narrow, at- 

 tenuated anteriorly and posteriorly ; lateral bands rather broad, 

 especially in the female, and usually in the latter sex split by a 

 longitudinal dark line or row of minute dark patches. Sternum 

 of male blackish, sometimes with a small, narrow band on its 

 fore-part ; of female, with a central band, and more or less distinct 

 lateral ones. Legs dull yellow ; femora above with dark patches ; 

 tarsi and metatarsi of the first pair of legs in the male, thickened,

This species is common in many districts, generally frequenting 

 rich, moist meadows. It has been taken in many parts of 

 England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has a wide Continental range 

 — South France, Norway, Hungary, Turkestan, etc. It is adult 

 from May until September.
