180 [January, 



I cannot attach any $ for certain to this (^, which at present I 

 only know from specimens taken by Mr. V. E. Perkins, in Glouces- 

 tershire. 



12. variegatus, v. Hag., Deutsche Ent. Zeit., xxvi, 1882, p. 222, pi. vii, 



f. 15. 



S . Antennae entirely black ; basal pubescent rings of the joints very narrow ; 

 2nd sub-marginal cell not twice as high as wide ; all the segments of the abdomen 

 banded with black ; armature with the groove of each stipes extending almost to 

 the apex. 



The $ assigned to this S by v. Hagens has the vertex of the head somewhat 

 incraseate, the thorax very shining and finely and remotely punctured. 



Length, S , 6 — 7 mm.

 Perkins) ; Norwich (J. B. Bridgman). 



13. divisus, V. Hag., Deutsche Ent. Zeit., xxvi, 1882, p. 223, pi. vii, 



f . 16. Kirby ? ?. 



I have a single (^ which seems to agree with this species : it has| 

 the antennae rufescent in front, and the 2nd sub-marginal cell 

 exceedingly narrow, more than twice as high as wide, but otherwise it 

 seems to me identical with variegatus. Kirby's description seems to 

 me to agree better with similis, J ; but in his collection several species 

 are mixed under this name.

(J small and narrow, easily recognised from all but the following by the form 

 of the joints of the antennse, which have their faces flattened and pubescent, almosi 

 up to the apex of each ; from the following it may be known at once by the form o: 

 the genital armature ; the dilated apex of the lacinia produced on its inner margir 

 being an easily observable character. 



? . The female which v. Hagens thinks belongs to this cj is a small, brightl;||^ 

 coloured insect, with a rather largely punctured thorax. Length, 6 — 7 mm.

<J distinguishable from the preceding, as stated above. The armature has thj 

 lacinia a little produced on to its membrane near its middle, and narrowed again t 

 the apex. 



The $ which y. Hagens suggests for this species is very like that describeti % 

 for dimidiatus, but has the thorax exceedingly shining, and the puncturation mue 

 finer and more remote.
