 Blasticotoma, Klug, Jahrb., 1S34. 251, Tab. II, fig. 9. 



Wiiifjs with two marginal and three submarginal cells; the first and 

 second submarginals each with a recurrent nervure ; lanceolate cell 

 with oblique cross line ; under wings with two middle cells. 



Anfennse four-articulate — the third long^ the fourth very small. 



The males are not yet described. 



Inhabits Germany. 



The first submarginal wing cell probably has an incomplete cross 

 line, as Klug says this genus has four submarginal cells, and other 

 writers three. 



D. Wings with one marginal cell. 

 Four submarginal cells. 



a. The second and third submarginal cells each with a recurrent nervure.

Wings, one marginal, not appendiculate, and four submarginal cells, 

 of which the second and third each receive a recurrent nervure ; lan- 

 ceolate cell closed in middle; under wings with two inner cells. The 

 })ull;i} in tliis differ from those of Iliihdoma in there being bat one, 

 which is small, near the base of second submarginal cross nervure, 

 from which two clearer lines run to the two bullae at the ends of the 

 third cross nervure. 



Tihi-x all simple, (without side spurs). 



BruUe considers this to be identical with the eighth division of 

 Hylotoma., Klug, doubtless on the ground that the first submarginal 

 cell is wholly or partially incomplete. King states that the species 

 have three submarginal cells, first and second each with a recurrent 

 nervure. 



In the absence of proper data, I have chosen to consider the auten- 

 n:\! of the 9 filiform, and those of Schizocerus 9 subclavate. 



Sericocera plumicornis, n. sp. 



Black, shoulders white, antennse % bifurcate, slender, curled, ciliate. 

 Length, 0.28. Br. wings, O.fiO inch. 



% . Shining black. Antennaj black, third joint bifurcate, slender, 

 decreasing in size towards apex, curled, ciliate; tegulae and prothorax 

 white, remainder of body black; abdomen rather stout; legs black; 



* This is considered by authors as intermediate between Cimbicides and Ily- 

 lotomides. Ilartig makes for it a separate sub-family.
