species evidently so closely resemble each otlier, T will not describe 
this as new without an examination of more, and fresh, examples. In 
size it equals C. ohsolefus.

marginam apicalem vix fusco-marginatis, pterostigmaie elongate. 
Long. Corp. 1-W" ; exp. alar. 3-3i"'. 
Antenn<e not so long as the wings, fuscescent or yellowish. Head whitish, 
immactilate, the ocelli brown. Thorax whitish, sometimes suffused with brownish. 
Abdomen yellowish, a blackish line on each side at the base. Legs pale whitish- 
yellow, the tibise marked with very minute blackish points, being the tubercles 
whence spring the hairs. Wings hyaline ; ant&rior ivings with a minute blackish 
dot at the commencement of the pterostigma, and another at the termination of 
the post-costa on the posterior margiu ; veins very fine, ciliated, brownish, all the 
apical veins slightly margined with fuscous at their terminations in the margin, 
forming brownish points, and some of the basal veins are stronger and darker 
than the others ; pterostigma elongate, scarcely dilated, almost parallel ; free 
mai-ginal cellule almost semi-circular ; in the posterior wings the apical veins are 
pointed at their terminations as in the anterior. 
Taken commonly by Mr. Dale amongst box (Buxus) in his garden 
fit G-lanville's Wootton, Dorset, unaccompanied by any other species. 
It is an extremely dehcate-looking insect, and very distinct, on account 
of its broad rounded wings and very pale coloration. I have seen many 
examples, which do not vary otherwise than by showing an unusually 
strong tendency to aberrant nerval arrangement.

Anternnm not so long as the wings, stout, pilose in $ , fuscous, the basal joints 
testaceous. Head and thorax shining chestnut-brown, the latter often blackish. 
Abdomen reddish, black at the apex. Legs pale yellow, the tarsi tipped with fus- 
cous. Wings hyaline, shining ; anterior wings long and narrow, a broad brown 
longitudinal band extends fi-om base to apex, occupying the whole breadth of the 
wing at its commencement, but leaving an elongate, hyaline space near the apex 
of the costal margiu (which space is intersected by two brown-margined veuis), and
