I shall describe the few species recorded in my Guide, ^s 

 well as two others, and regret that space will not allow me {o 

 add some that Mr. F. Walker has obligingly transmitted to 

 me. Mr. Haliday calls his division A. Pygostolus, of which 

 Crypus sticticus Fab. is the type; it is characterized by "the 

 radial areolet just touching the apex of the wing," The next 

 is B. Radial areolet very short, semilunate. 



a. Abdomen sessile. 

 Type L. mitis Halidai/s MSS. 



b. Abdomen petiolated. * Petiole striated. 



1^, L, Orchesise C«r/.— 15 lii\e. Antennae 26-jointed in the male ? Black, 

 shining : antennae (excepting the last 10 joints), head and legs 

 ochreous ; eyes and crown of head black, leaving a bright ochre 

 orbit : postscutellum thickly punctured : posterior coxae piceous; 

 wings very transparent, the stigma piceous, excepting the interior 

 angle. 

 This fine species was bred, I believe, by Mr. Walker, from 



pupae of Orchesia micans (folio 197"). 



1. L. pallipes Curt. — 1^ line. Antennae of male 24-jointed, of female 21. 



Black shining, head and thorax punctured, postscutellum rugose : 

 antennae pale castaneous or ochreous at the base : legs deep 

 ochre ; stigma pale piceous. 



2. L. picipes Curt. — 1 line. Antennae l6-jointed. Black shining, post- 



scutellum dull and rugose ; abdomen antennae and legs piceous, 

 the latter gradually growing paler from the thighs, the tips of 

 which, as well as the tibiae and tarsi of the anterior pair, are more 

 or less ochreous ; stigma pale piceous. 



3. L. nitidus Curt. — Similar to No. 2, but narrower ; the antennae are 



rather stout, castaneous brown, ochreous at the base, legs ochreous, 

 posterior thighs and tibiae, excepting the base of the latter, brown. 



4. L. similis Curt. — Like No. 2, but the antennae are longer, with the 4 



basal joints ochreous as well as the legs, the posterior being a 

 little the darkest. 



** Petiole punctured and indistinctly striated. 



5. L. fulvipes Cwr^ — 5-Hne. Piceous shining : antennae l6-jointed, brown, 



the base ochreous ; postscutellum punctured ; wings pale fuscous; 

 legs ochreous. 



6. L. pallidistigma Curt. — | line : piceous shining : antennae l6-jointed, 



longer than in the foregoing and ochreous, as well as the legs ; 

 postscutellum shining, sparingly punctured: stigma pale ochreous. 

 6*. L. basalis Curt. — Similar to No. 6, but the base of the abdomen is 

 ferruginous-ochre, and the scutellum dull and thickly punctured, 

 or reticulated. I took a specimen b. of June, in the New Forest. 



7. L. apicalis Curt. B. E. pi. 476. <? . Antennae l7-jointed in the male, 16 



in the female ; shining ochreous ; tips of antennae and pulvilli 

 brown : eyes green : ocelli piceous ; postscutellum punctured, pi- 

 ceous in the female ; petiole long and nearly linear, slightly angu- 

 lated at the middle ; posterior portion of abdomen piceous : stigma 

 pale, with a brown patch at the extremity. 

 This pretty species, as well as Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, 

 Mr. Walker took at Southgate. 



The Plant is Lysimachia Niimmularia ( Money- wort).
