SYNOPSIS OF THE PSOCINA WITHOUT OCELLI. 

 BY DR. n. A. HAGEN. 



Pamily PSOCINA. 

 Division 1. ATROPINA. Ocelli absent. 

 * Tarsi three-jointed. 



Gi-enus Ateopos, Leach. 

 Meso- and meta-thorax united ; antennae with seventeen joints, 

 thread fine ; without wings ; femora dilated ; second joint of the tarsi 

 short. 



1. — A. divinatoria, Miiller Prodr. 2179. 

 Ivory-yellow ; the head darker, eyes black. 



Female with a large oval egg-valve, covering the apex of the 



abdomen beneath Male with an oblong lobe at the apex beneath, 



on each side of which is a slender hook, acute and curved inwards at 



the tip. Head long, oblong. Abdomen transversely excavated above. 



Long. 1| millimetres. 



Head sometimes yellowish -red, in which case the insect is darker. 

 Habitat : Europe, everywhere ; Greenland. 



It is A. pulsatoria of Westwood and authors (not of Linne), and 

 Ldposcelis muscorum of Motschulsky. 



2. — A. resinata, new sp. 

 In gum copal (Anime). I possess one example, somewhat similar 

 to the last. It is not situated in such a manner as to enable me to be 

 sure of its identity ; it will be necessary to examine several. 



3. — A. formiearia, new sp. 

 Shining black ; the antennaB and legs brown beneath. 

 Long. 1 mill. 



Habitat : Prussia ; near Konigsberg in the nests of Formica 

 fuliginqsa. It resembles A. divinatoria in form. 



4. — A. fatidica, Linne. 



I do not know this species. Linne says that it is twice as large as 

 T. pulsatorium (^ClotJiilla) , which species is larger than A. divinatoria ; 

 otherwise one would consider it to be the latter species. "Ore pallido, 

 oeulis fusd^" (Linn.). 



Habitat : Southern Europe ; in dried plants received from Rolander. 



5. — -A. oleagina, new sp. 

 Head maroon-brown ; eyes small, black ; meso- and meta-thorax.
