NEWMAN ON TENTHREDININ A. 25i> 



ScMzocerus furcatus I have taken at Birch-wood, and 

 S. palUpes, at Shobden, in Herefordshire. I have also received 

 the latter from Brighton. Allied to Cladius and Pristojyhora, 

 I possess several insects which appear unnoticed by Mr. 

 Stephens. 



Pristophora, a. Stephens? 



Sp. 1. Pris. cincta. Niger, corpore rubro-cincto^ pedihus pal- 

 lidis, nigro diversis. 



Antennse and head, with the exception of a yellow labrum, black ; 

 body black, with a bright red belt, which passes completely round, 

 occupying four abdominal segments : legs pale ; profemora dusky 

 at the base ; mesofemora at the base and apex, black ; meta- 

 femora at the apex, metatibiae at the apex, and metatarsi, wholly 

 black. 



I have seen but a single specimen of this insect, taken by 

 myself in Herefordshire, in May. This will perhaps be the 

 best time to say, that the foregoing and other insects de- 

 scribed as new in this article, have been carefully compared 

 with the specimens in Mr. Stephens's collection; a comparison 

 in which that gentleman's assistance has been most kindly 

 given. 



Genus — Euura. Neicman. Mas. et fem. 



Antennse 9-articulatEB vix pilosae, breves, tenues ; proalse cellula 

 marginali 1, submarginalibus 3, quarum Ima parva quadrata, 2da. 

 longa nervos 2 recurrentes recipiens; ano femince oviductu pror- 

 recto, 2que setis validis divaricatis armato. 



This genus, in the disposition of the wing nervures, corre- 

 sponds very nearly with Pristophora B. of Stephens, but in 

 other respects it widely differs ; the antenna are short, slender, 

 and very slightly pilose in both sexes. In the male there is a 

 slight disposition to elongation in the joints, the sheath of the 

 oviduct of the female is very pilose, elongate, and conspicuous: 

 two strong bristle-like pilose appendages (existing in a less 

 degree in cognate genera) arise, one on each side of the para- 

 telum ; these three points present a somewhat trident-like 

 appearance at the tail, which at once distinguishes the insect.
