  A 
  distinct 
  species. 
  Is 
  perhaps 
  not 
  a 
  true 
  Eriocampa. 
  

   In 
  the 
  latter 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  deeply 
  incised, 
  the 
  transverse 
  

   basal 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  quite 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   radial 
  nervure, 
  while 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  species 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  more 
  

   widely 
  removed 
  from 
  it, 
  and 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  transverse 
  at 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex. 
  

  

  Obs. 
  I 
  described 
  {Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  1876, 
  p. 
  461) 
  a 
  Monophadnus 
  bengalensis 
  

   from 
  Bengal 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Kirby 
  {List 
  of 
  Hymen, 
  i., 
  p. 
  185) 
  states 
  is 
  an 
  

   Erioca?npa. 
  If 
  so, 
  his 
  figure 
  {pi. 
  viii. 
  f. 
  17) 
  is 
  wrongly 
  drawn, 
  for 
  the 
  fore- 
  

   wing 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  Monophadnus, 
  not 
  of 
  an 
  Eriocampa. 
  On 
  the 
  same 
  plate 
  

   {fig. 
  9) 
  Mr. 
  Kirby 
  figures 
  a 
  Monophadnus 
  lineatus, 
  from 
  Hudson's 
  Bay, 
  

   which 
  is 
  certainly 
  an 
  Eriocampa, 
  if 
  the 
  figure 
  is 
  correct. 
  

  

  Eriocampa 
  major, 
  sp. 
  nov. 
  

   Long. 
  13 
  mm. 
  

  

  Agrees 
  in 
  coloration 
  with 
  E. 
  punctata, 
  but 
  may 
  readily 
  

   be 
  separated 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  head 
  not 
  being 
  narrowed 
  

   behind 
  the 
  eyes, 
  by 
  its 
  being 
  behind 
  almost 
  transverse, 
  

   not 
  distinctly 
  concave, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  eyes 
  not 
  converging 
  so 
  

   much 
  below. 
  

  

  Head 
  rugosely 
  punctured, 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  

   white 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  vertex, 
  with 
  longer 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  face 
  

   and 
  clypeus. 
  The 
  vertex 
  behind 
  the 
  ocelli 
  raised 
  and 
  

   separated 
  from 
  the 
  sides 
  ; 
  its 
  centre 
  with 
  a 
  fine, 
  longi- 
  

   tudinal 
  keel. 
  Clypeus 
  projecting 
  ; 
  its 
  apex 
  bluntly 
  

   rounded 
  ; 
  the 
  labrum 
  smooth, 
  brownish, 
  thickly 
  covered 
  

   with 
  long, 
  pale 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  palpi 
  are 
  fuscous. 
  Behind 
  the 
  

   eyes 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  rounded, 
  but 
  not 
  narrowed 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  there 
  

   nearly 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  eyes. 
  Mesonotum 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  

   thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  white 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  middle 
  lobe 
  is 
  

   more 
  shining 
  than 
  the 
  lateral, 
  and 
  finely 
  furrowed 
  down 
  the 
  

   middle. 
  Scutellum 
  rounded 
  ; 
  its 
  basal 
  half 
  smooth, 
  very 
  

   shining, 
  with 
  hardly 
  any 
  punctures; 
  its 
  apical 
  half 
  rugosely 
  

   punctured, 
  opaque, 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  long, 
  pale 
  hair. 
  

   Metanotum 
  rugosely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  cenchri 
  cream-
