centre ; radial nervure apicall)- slightly curved ; ncrvellus geniculate below 

 its centre. Length, 5.5 nnn. 



The immaculate black abdomen is remarkable in the present genus. 



The types were "bred by Mr. W. Cross, of Kly, from Pliisia on'chalcca, 

 April iqth, 1885. The cocoon is opaque, pearly white, with a faint band 

 before each end" (Bridg. I.e.).

 Sagaritis erythropus, Thorns. O.E. xi. 1093, i ? . 



A black species, having the abdomen centrally and the legs red with 

 base of latter black. Length, nearly 5 mm. 



Very similar to S. raptor in size and colouration, but with the terebra 

 shorter, the hind tibiae with their tarsi entirely red, the second segment 

 subtransverse and apically broader, and the mesosternal acetabulae not 

 reflexed. • 



Thought to be not rare in northern and central Lurope by 'J'homson, 

 who bred it from " a straw-3ellow butterfly pupa " in Sweden, but I know 

 of no Continental records. Bridgman found it (Trans. Norf. Soc. 1894, 

 p. 6ig) during ]\Iay and June at Brundall in Norfolk. It seems very rare 

 with us, and I have only met with the female which was swept at a damp 

 spot in Dodnash Woods near Ipswich in the middle of September, 1901.

Head a little narrowed bi'hind the eyes, with j)alpi and centre of man- 

 dibles flavidous. Thorax laterally and anus densely white-pubescent; 

 areola complete and a little longer than broad. Abdomen with the third 

 to seventh segments laterally more or less broadly red ; the second some- 

 what narrow, half as long again as broad, dull, cvcnlv and very closely 

 alutaceous throughout; third not \{t\ smootli ; \riilral plica stramineous; 

 terebra slightly shorter than basal segnn'ut. Legs rutesc-rnt with coxae 

 and base of trochanters black ; intermediate tibiae usualh- infuscate at 

 both extremities ; hind femora nigrescent at base and apex, their tibiae 

 whitish, infuscate at apex and before base; liind tarsi nigri'scent ; in (J 

 front coxae {)artly or entirely flavous. Wings w itli tegulae straminet)us, 

 stigma rufescent flavous; recurrent eiiiiiud fioni centre of areolet and 

 nervellus obsoletely intercepted below its centri'. Length, 0-7 nnn. 



This species resembles S. zonala in the melanotal areae and position of 

 second recurrent nervure, but dilTers, besides its colour, in the more 

 slender legs and antennai', densely pubescent abdomen and sculpture of 

 the second segment. 



A rare species in central luirope ; about Breslan, etc., in |uly (< lra\-.) ; 

 Austria (Tschek). Bridgman says of it (Trans. ]^nl. Soc. 1887, p. 3(>7), 

 " I have taken in the Norwich nt-ighbourliood what I believe to be this 

 species; it has also been bred by iMr. Fletcher from an unknown host. 

 The cocoon is pearly white, with two indistinct zones of scattered black
