i68 Mr. Cameron on 



There is no described species with which E. vielanopoda 

 can be compared ; nor can it be placed very well in any of 

 Foerster's "Genera." The antennae come nearest to those 

 of K.pygmaea; but the apical six joints form a well-marked 

 club in it, and the form of the radial cellule is very different ; 

 the radial cellule in K. iiielanopoda being formed as in K- 

 brevicorniSy tetratoma, &c. 



EUCOILA GRACILICORNIS, Sp. nov. 



Nigra^ nitida, flagello antennariwiy ore^pedibusqiie, riifis ; 

 alls flavo Jiyalinis ; antemiis corpore longioribiis ; clava hand 

 discreta. Long. 4 mm. 



Hab. Banks of Clyde, near Cambuslang {Cavieroii). 



Black ; the flagellum and legs (except the basal three- 

 fourths of the coxae) red ; the tegulae piceous ; wings 

 yellowish-hyaline, the nervures testaceous. Antennae filiform> 

 longer than the body, the sixth and following joints not 

 thicker than the fifth, elongated, much longer than broad ; 

 the third joint shorter than the fourth. Scutellum rugosely 

 punctured ; the cup suborbicular, narrowed at the base ; the 

 rim piceous ; the fovea at apex large, wider than long. Hair 

 on sides of metanotum moderately long, griseous. Abdomen 

 not much longer than the thorax ; its hair fringe, thick, 

 griseous. Wings large ; first abscissa of radius about three- 

 fourths of the length of second, and both are distinctly 

 curved ; the third abscissa about the length of basal two 

 united, slightly curved ; cubitus reaching to the apex of the 

 wing ; apical fringe moderate. The male has the antenna:^ 

 one and three-fourth times longer than the body ; the third 

 joint is shorter than the fourth. 



Closely allied to E. similis, Cam., but that species has 

 the antennae not much longer than the body, and with the 

 apical eight joints thicker than the preceding, and scarcely 

 twice longer than broad ; the wings are clear hyaline, the 

 nervures paler, the cubitus does not reach to the apex of 

 the wing, and the tcgul.x are entirely red.
