PHYTOCORTDiE. 309 



qiiently the band next the apex is obsolete, and tlie entire apical 

 portion from the 2nd pale band brownish-yellow ; outer margin with 

 several small brown spots throughout its entire length : iarfii 

 brownish-yellow; 3rd joint piceous ; claws reddish-brown. 



Length, 3 — 3^ lines. 



The P. satitrata, Tieb. (JMS.), has somewhat of a reddish tinge, 

 and the markings browner and more decided than in the typical 

 specimens. 



Not an uncommon species, and has, perhaps, hitherto been mis- 

 taken for gray examples of P. T/lifP. It is, however, narrower, 

 more parallel, with much longer antenna^, and generally yellower 

 tlian the palest examples of that species. 



We have found it on palings at Blackheath, and elsewhere in the 

 London district, in August.
