at Nethy Bridge in June, 1905.

3 (2) Tip of the wing uncoloured 2. adp r op inquans Jj-w. 



4 (1) Cubital and discal veins almost pai'allel. 



5 (8) Antennae entirely black. 



6 (7) Third joint of antennae conical and broad, arista shorter than 



the third joint ; genital lamellae very long, with the basal 

 part black and unusually long, the apical part short, but with 

 two long pointed black shafts ; outer lamellae long, thi'eadlike, 

 forked, and dirty whitish 3. bij)arti(us Ijw. 



7 (6) Third joint of antenuiE very long and pointed, arista black, 



scarcely half as long as the third joint ; genital lamellae with 

 the basal part brown and very short, the apical part large 

 and rather thick and all white ; outer lamellae very short, 

 white with a black tip 4. leucurus Ijw. 



8 (5) Antennae with the basal joint conspicuously pale yellow...

4. jS. leucurus Lw. : a male was bi'ed by Dr. D. Sharp from rotting wood 



debris in a. heech. tree on April 4th, and another on May 5th, 

 1905, in the New Forest, while Mr. C. Or. Lamb had previously 

 taken a male in July, 1904, which was emerging from a pupa; I 

 had seen this latter specimen, but (although I suspected it to be 

 <S. leucurus) thouglit it too immature to identify it as new to 

 Britain, but I have now no further doubt. The genital append- 

 ages are very conspicuously white, and the tiny black apical dots 

 stand out. The species is I believe only known from bred speci- 

 mens, as Loew described it from some specimens bred by Von 

 Heyden at Frankfort on the Maine from decayed wood about 

 1858, and it has since been recorded only by Beling, who also 

 bred it. 



5. S. tener Lw. : a male was bred from similar debris in the New Forest 



in July, 1905, and also a female of probably this species. The
