At once known from all our other species by its small size. 



Thomson described this small female from Sweden and Munich ; but he 

 did not know the male, which is here for the first time brought forward. 

 In Dr. Capron's collection, now in my possession, are one female and 

 four males of this species, which has not hitherto been noted in Britain ; 

 they were probably captured about Shere in Surrey.
