black ; the disc with punctures like those on the clavus, fine, disposed in rows, 

 anterior margin clear; membrane fuscous, darker at the base, near the outer 

 basal angle a distinct lunate white spot, and one rounded and less distinct pos- 

 teriorly on the outer margin ; the 2nd inner nerve whitish near the base. Sternum 

 with yellowish hairs. Legs — thighs black ; tihicB piceous, black at the apex, 1st 

 pair curved throughout, 2nd and 3rd pairs not spined, but thickly set with very 

 fine projecting hairs ; tarsi piceous. 

 Abdomen — Beneath, clothed with yellowish projecting hairs. 



A single (^ (described above), in the collection of Dr. Power, was 

 taken by Mr. Hislop, in Scotland (locality not noted). 



Note. — This species, also a reputed native of Britain, appears to 

 vary in colour, for some authors make no mention of the black spot in 

 the corium, describe yellowish spots near the base of the coxae, and say 

 that the 2ud or 2nd and 3rd joints of the antennae are brown-red. In 

 Hahn's figure the hairs of the antennae are represented as long and 

 strong, and the colour of the tibiae and 2nd joint of the antennae is 

 yellow, in which particulars his own description differs. 



Genus 10*. — Lampeonotus, Doug. & Scott, n. g. 



Oblong, sides parallel. 



Head 5-sided, triangular in front, the base much narrower than the 

 pronotum, into which it is deeply set : Face — middle lobe elongate, 

 prominent, side lobes compressed, pointed. Antennce long, slender, 

 1st joint thickest, three-fourths the length of the head, half the 

 length, at least, reaching beyond the apex of the face ; 2nd one- 

 fourth longer than the 1st ; 3rd about the length of the 1st ; 4th a 

 trifle longer than the 3rd; the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd very slightly 

 thickened to the apex, the 4th long-fusiform. Eyes small, touching 

 the pronotum. Ocelli yerj small, rather nearer to the eyes than 

 to each other. Hostrum slender, reaching to the 2nd pair of coxae. 



Thorax — Pronotum trapeziform, broad, almost quadrate, anterior 

 margin cut out for the reception of the head ; anterior angles 

 rounded ; sides very slightly sinuate, the margins, extending the 

 whole length, narrow, distinct, scarcely reflexed ; disc in front 

 (rather more than half the length) very convex, smooth, posteriorly 

 depressed, hinder angles raised into a callus ; posterior margin 

 concave. Scutellum large, longer than broad, apex pointed, disc at 

 some distance from the sides raised into a V-form, the centre of 

 which is deeply depressed, and from the apex a sharply defined 

 keel extends to the apex of the scutellum, forming altogether a
