ErnypKOCxus. 321 



distinct ; spiracles circular, not distinctly ovate. Basal segment 

 slightly curved, with no discal sulcus, spiracles subcentral, petiole 

 slender, post-petiole apically dilated, with no lateral carinas ; cen- 

 tral abdominal segments not twice as broad as long ; terebra 

 straight and slightly exserted. Tarsi white-banded ; hind femora 

 not incrassate, the intermediate apically attenuate, with their 

 tibite subsinuate. Basal nervure continuous through the median ; 

 areolet distinctly present. 



Range. Palfeurctic and Nearctic llegions. 



Xo doubt can remain that Cameron's two species of his genus 

 Fovai/a are representatives of Eurijproctus, since I have had an 

 opportunity of examining the types of both in Col. Nurse's 

 collection, and it is very obvious that their author was misled, 

 in following Ash mead's tables, by the subbuccate head of these 

 species, which, though transverse, is but very slightly constricted 

 posteriorly. 



The species of this genus are known to prey upon the larvae of 

 such Tenthredinid.i; as Tenihredo, Eriocampa, &c.

2 . A black flavous-marked species, with the abdomen ceiitrallv 

 red, and the antenna? and hind tarsi pale-banded. Head black, 

 with the sparsely and distinctly punctate clypeus, two indefinite 

 marks before it on the alutaceous face, facial orbits, the striate 

 mandibles (except apically), and the palpi, llavous ; frons and 

 vertex alutaceous. Anteunce slender and almost longer than the 

 body, with the fourteenth to twenty-fourth joints entirely stra- 

 mineous ; scape with dense white pubescence beneath. Thorax 



t Cameron's table (Ann. Nat. Hist. xx. p. 21) is very fniilty. Fovaya 

 aimuUcornis lias a distinct jiixta-;intoiiiuil orbital white mark, (lie apex and not 

 base of its second abdominal segment is red, tlie flanelluni is equally black, 

 and tile spiracular area equally strongly carinate internally in bcii.ii species- 

 and the four i'ront, not hind, femora oi F. unniilicornis are testaceous.
