more behind, by the shorter 3rd cubital cellule ; the transverse radial 

 nervure is received further from the 3rd transverse cubital, and con- 

 sequently the 2nd radial cellule is longer ; and, lastly, in micans the 

 transverse median nervure is received in the middle of the cellule ; in 

 sulcata, a little in front of the middle. B. sericans, again, is larger, 

 has the abdomen longer, compared with the head and thorax, the middle 

 tibi® and tarsi are distinctly obscure white in front, the antennal fovea 

 is larger, there is no suture behind the eyes, while the sheath is not 

 prolonged into a projecting point at the upper part, and the saw is 

 longer and with better marked indentations. As for the common B. 

 nign'ta, the long 3rd cubital cellule and the short -second radial cellule 

 at once distinguish it. B. monticola, Htg. =feriata, Zad , is also 

 related to it, but may be at once separated by there being no suture 

 behind the eyes, by the short 2nd radial cellule, by the 3rd cubital 

 cellule being double the length of the 2nd, and by the tibiae being 

 all more or less white at the sides.

Heptamelus ocJiroleucus, Haliday, Nat. Hist. Eev., 1855, ii, p. GO, 

 pi. ii, f . 1 = Coenoneura Dahlbomi, Thorns. Haliday had no doubt of 

 his species being the same as Melicerta ochroleuca, Ste., but Stephens' 

 generic description does not agree ; this, however, is a matter of no 

 importance, as it affects neither the generic nor specific name. Hali- 

 day's figure and description are excellent. The figure given by M. 

 Andre, Species des Hymen., i, pi. xv, f. 1, may be that of a new species, 

 but it certainly does not represent Coenoneura Dahlbomi, or, as it now 

 must be called, Heptamelus ocJiroleucus. 



St rongijlog aster viridis, Smiedeknecht, Ent. Nacht., 1881 = S. de- 

 licatulus. When fresh and newly emerged, delicatulus is green, but 

 after death the green colour disappears. 



Strongylogaster macula, Klug, is British. I have taken it on ferns 

 on the Kilpatrick Hills, Dumbartonshire.
