Scandinavia and Central Europe (Holmgr.) ; France ((jaulle). Connnt)n 

 and widely distributed with us; Earlham near Norwich in .May (Hridg. 

 Tr. Norf. Soc. 1894, p. 6iq); frequently bred from Ltpidoplcm by Clutten 

 at Burnley, especially from Southport Caradiiiia Jlorp/uus in 1906, and by 

 Waterston in 1903 from its own elongate-oval, smooth and bronze-black 

 cocoon atTaynuilt; Cockayne sent me three females, which had emerged 

 on 3rd-5th ]Ma\', 1907, from — doubtfully— //)/'("/;//<? progtnimaria. Miss

A black species with the abdomen centrally and legs partly red ; hind 

 tibiae not basally black ; terebra short. It is recognised from its allies 

 by the internally somewhat distinctly emarginate eyes, elongate cheeks, 

 black or centrally rufescent: mandibles, discally subnitidulous and less 

 coarsely punctate thorax, the carina of the dentiparal metathoracic areae 

 extending on either side as far as the areola which is transverse and 

 laterally entire, the distinct and subquadrate basal area, less deeply 

 excavate and not trans-sulcate petiolar area, the pale alar stigma and 

 broad fenestra, the lateral sulci of first segment extending from its base 

 to the spiracles with deeply impressed glymmae, the postpetiole with a 

 fine lateral impressed line towards the spiracles, the third and fourth 

 segments with apical margin of the second red, the tibiae and anterior 

 femora red or in ^ llavous and the hind tibiae only black at their apices. 

 Length, 12- 14 mm. 



The basally red hind tibiae and iiiiuh shorter terebra dilVerentiate it 

 from the last species.

 Belgium in July and August ('['(jscp), France ((iaulle). Bred from Phipi- 

 thecia veiiosa/a by D'Orville (Entom. 1885, p. k)). Capron had many 

 unnamed from Shere ; others in my collection are from Felden by PilVard,

 Sevenoaks in Kent on iith of July, 1907 i^Mrs. Holmes); the New Forest
