212 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [xxxii, '21 



This species is the fasciatus Burm. of Del Guercio and other 

 European students (farinosa Cholod.). the lanceolate rostrum, 

 short first joint of the hind tarsus, the once-branched media, 

 and the shaded forewings being quite typical. Walker indi- 

 cates in his description that the media is twice-branched, but 

 such is not the case in his specimens. Theobald records this 

 from Kent, and Jackson from Kent and Scotland. 



8. Schizolachnus tomentosus (De Geer). Walker; three slides 

 "pincti; Scotch pine; Southgate ; June 25-47;" one slide; "pineti; Scotch 

 fir; Southgate; June 15-47." Buckton ; three slides (2 alate, 2 apterous 

 and 1 immature 99); "Mindanis abietinus Koch." Buckton ; three 

 slides ( 1 alate, 1 apterous, several immature 99); "Schizoneura fuligi- 

 nosa Buck." 



All these are the same species, and are the one described by 

 Del Guercio as tomentosus (De Geer), not his pineti Koch. 

 The media is once-branched, rather than twice-branched as in- 

 dicated by Walker. This is indeed the pincti of Fabricius, 

 which is a synonym of tomentosus De Geer. Lachnus pineti 

 Koch is a different species. 



9. Dilachnus cupressi (Buckton). Buckton; one slide (1 alate, 4 

 apterous, and I immature 99); "Lachnus cupressi; Cornwall ; Nov." 

 This is the species described by Buckton from cypress at Cornwall, and 

 these are perhaps the type specimens. Additional descriptive notes are 

 herewith appended : 4 



Alate viviparous female. Body rather small ; antennae rather long 

 for a Lachnid, reaching to the base of the abdomen, pale except at joint 

 and segment VI. Ill with 3-4 secondary sensoria on apical half, IV 

 with 2 secondary sensoria on apical half, and V with one secondary and 

 one primary sensorium, VI with the usual primary and accessory sen- 

 soria. Ill is the longest segment, with IV, V, and VI subequal, com- 

 bined being longer than III (V slightly longer than IV or VI, the lat- 

 ter two being practically equal). Cornicles quite large and prominent, 

 being half as long (high) as wide at the base; dark colored. Cauda 

 prominent, half -moon-shaped. Legs quite long. Body covered with 

 many fine hairs, which appear longest and thickest on cauda, antennae 

 and legs. Beak lanceolate, reaching to the base of the second abdomi- 

 nal segment. Measurements : Body length 2.487, width at thorax 

 0.969, width between eyes 0.350, antennae total 1.204-1.210, III 0.420- 

 0.434, IV 0.182-0.190, V 0.210-0.215, VI 0.182-0.1% mm.; cornicles height 

 0.126-0.154, width at base 0.280, width at apex 0.075-0.080; hind tarsi 

 0.070 x 0.294; 0.070 x 0.312, wings length 3.88-4.06, width 1.39-1.42, ex- 

 pansion 9.04 mm. Media rather distinct for a lachnid, twice-branched. 

 Stigma long and rectangular.
