8. — Psocus STJBKEBULOSIJS, Stephens.

1861, p. 31, 21. 
Antennce not so long as the wings, pilose in ^ , brown, yellowish at the base. 
Head yellow ; crown marked with brown streaks and spots, especially in the middle ; 
nasus with longitudinal parallel brown streaks. Thorax piceous, the divisions of 
the lobes, and a median dorsal streak, yellow. Abdomen darker. Legs testaceous, 
the tarsi darker. Wings hyaline ; anterior wings rather elongate ; a large brown 
spot occupies, and is continued below, the sub-triangular pterostigma, which latter 
has also a small blackish spot at its commencement ; below the pterostigma on the 
posterior margin is a brownish cloud, and a dark brown dot at the termination of 
the post-costa ; veins dark brown, those in the middle of the wing whitish. 
Length of body 1'" ; expanse of fore- wings 3'". 
This species seems to partially combine the characters of P. hifas- 
ciatus and P. 4>-maculatus. The type in Stephens' collection is in bad 
condition, and the wings on one side show an aberrant neuration. Two 
specimens in Mr. Dale's collection (from which the above description is 
taken) are rather larger than the type, but otherwise identical. 
9. — Psocus BiPUNCTATUs, Linne. 
Remerohius 2-punctatus, Linn. Faun. Suec. 884, 1514 (1761) ; Fab. 
Syst. Ent. p. 310, 11. Psocus "i-'punctatus, Lat. Coqb. Icon. 12, tab. 2, 
fig. 3 ; Curt. B. E. 648, IG (no description) ; Burm. Handb. p. 779, 14 ; 
Eamb. Nevrop. p. 321, 7 ; Brauer N. A. p. 33. 
Antennw not longer than the wings, pilose in S , blackish, the basal joint yel- 
lowish. Head pale orange-yellow ; crown marked with blackish in the middle ; 
nasus suffused with blackish, straightly striated ; labruyn. blackish ; ^lal-pi orange, 
the terminal joint with the apical half black. Mesothorax with black lobes and 
broad orange divisions. Metathorax varied with orange and black. Abdomen 
orange, with longitudinal rows of black spots. Legs pale orange, the tips of the 
tibiae and tarsal joints somewhat obscure. Wings hyaline ; anterior wings dilated 
at the apex, with a large rounded piceous spot in the lower angle of the pterostigma, 
and a blackish dot at its commencement ; a blackish mark on the dorsal margin 
towards the base, above which is a yellowish-grey cloud ; pterostigma triangular, 
the lower angle acute, yellowish-grey in the parts not occupied by the piceous spots 
above-mentioned ; veins dark fuscous ; posterior wings with a slight greyish cloud 
on the inner margin towards the base, otherwise hyaline.

The name Upunctatus occurs (without description) in the list of 
British species in Curtis' British Entomology. I did not examine 
Curtis' types, but according to Hagen, who compared them in 1857, 
they are the true species of this name (vide Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1866, p.
