NeMATUS LATIICIVORUS, Zad. 



Sclir. Ges. Konig., xxiv, p. 147, t.if. 1, f. le. 



Black ; tho labrum, palpi, tegulre, tlie pronotum at the tcgula3 and legs, white ; 

 the coxce broadly at the base, tlie four anterior femora at the base, the posterior 

 almost wholly, the apex of the hind tibias and the hind tarsi entirely, black ; the 

 orbits in front narrowly brownish, the antennfe fulvous, blackish on the upper-side. 

 Wings hyaline ; the costa and stigma yellowish-testaceous, the costa palest at the 

 base, the stigma inclining to fuscous at the base. Antennte as long as the thorax and 

 abdomen united, densely pilose ; slightly compressed ; the 3 — 5 joints sub-equal. 

 IToad covei'ed with short greyish pile, distinctly punctured ; frontal area obsolete ; 

 clypcus transverse. Thorax shortly pilose, opaque and punctured above ; a fine keel 

 down the middle lobe of the mosonotum ; cenchri large, pallid. Abdomen shining, 

 finely shagreened ; the last segment above with a /\-shapcd impression in the centre, 

 enclosing a raised, somewhat pear-shaped, part. Cenchri longish. Legs covered 

 with white pile ; claws apparently simple. The first cubital nervure is faint, the 

 third cubital cellule a little wider than long, the second transverse cubital nervure 

 received about its own length in front of it, transverse basal nervure received a little 

 in front of the middle of the cellule ; the second cubital cellule has a horny point. 



The $ , according to Zaddach, has the antenna) black, the coxse only black at the 

 base, and the femora are less strongly marked with black. Length, 7 mm. 



The femora want the reddish tinge so conspicuous on the femora 

 of fqjpendiciclatus ; the vertex and front are much more strongly punc- 

 tured, as is also the niesonotum ; the hind tarsi are entirely black, and 

 the apex of the hind tibia? is more distinctly and uniformly so ; the 

 third cubital cellule is shorter, and is not dilated at the apex, and the 

 pubescence is darker. 



Sab. : Plymouth (C. G. Bignell). 



JEgilips bicolorata, sp. n. 



Black ; the antenna brownish beneath, striated, longer than the body ; the legs 



reddish-testaceous, the coxse blackish, claws fuscous. Wings hyaline, faintly smoky 



from the radial cellule. Thorax semi-opaque, the mesonotum finely transversely, 



the pronotum more strongly obliquely, striated ; mesopleurse shining, impunctate ; 



scutcllum conical, in front rugosely reticulated, behind shining, faintly punctured ; 



metathorax rugose, the metanotum three-keeled, the middle one not reaching to the 



top. Petiole rugose, longer than broad. Parapsidal furrows faint, narrow, shallow. 



Abdomen shining. Eadial cellule not much longer than broad. S ■ 



Length, 2"5 mm. 



Most nearly related so .zE'. striolata, Cam. ; differing from it in the 

 semi-opaque mesonotum, much narrower and shallower parapsidal 

 furrows, by the mesonotum not having a furx'ow in the centre at the 

 base, in the scutellar fovese being much longer and deeper, in the scu- 

 tellum being blunter and broader at the apex, in the rugose metathorax, 

 iu the reddish coloured legs, and by the radial cellule being shorter. 



Probably from the London district.
