glanzend, hellbraun mit dunkler schmaler Mittelzone, etwas wollig, odcr 

 aussen ganz weisswollig." Giraud records it from Eupiilucij dthillila/a, 

 Ahicita xyloslella and Cannes lar\ae of Emydui grammka. (iaulle also 

 names as hosts Pluttlla macidipinnis and Coscinia siriata. It is found in 

 Belgium during May, July and August, and is apparently rare in both 

 Sweden and Thuringia. In Britain, one male, "which it is convenient at 

 present to call" majalis, Grav., has been bred from galls of Cynips Kollati 

 (Entom. 1880, p. 256), and other somewhat vague records are from Botvs 

 vertical is {lib. cit. 1881, p. i+o), Vanessa aialunta, Hecatera serena, Eiipithicia 

 indigata and Xyhpoda Fahriciana in Devon by Bignell; Holgate in York- 

 shire by Bairstow. Lands End district by Marquand and as very common 

 in Norfolk by Bridgnian. In my own experience this is the parasite par 

 excellence of the genus Hyponntneuta; IMr. O. E. Janson bred both sexes on 

 15th and 16th July, 1 891, from Hyponomeuta padella feeding on apple trees 

 in his Highgate garden : Dr. McDougall sent me a male from a species 

 oi Hyponomeuta on apple in 19 10; Ray Hardy bred both sexes from H. 

 padella commonly at Macclesfield during Julv, 1907; Charbonnier bred 

 at Bristol in 1908, and Martineau at Birmingham in 1906, females from 

 the above species of host; and in 1908 Mr. F. C. Hinde sent me a dozen 

 of both sexes, again from this host, bred at Norwich. It is not often 

 taken on the wing: Capron found it at Shere, Adams earlv in Tune at 

 Lyndhurst and Johnson in Armagh; I took several males and >\x\\ the 

 female on the flower heads, both taded and coming into blossom, of 

 Daiicus carota by the sea at Felixstowe, as late as 23rd October, i»99; 

 and single examples have occurred to me during the second half of ^lav 

 in the Bentley Woods and Harleston in Suffolk. 



19. albonotata, Bridg. 



Liiitncria (Angitia) albonotata, Bridg. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1SS9, p. 427, i ', . 



A black species ; the front legs testaceous-flavous, with coxae and tro- 

 chanters pale stramineous ; the hind ones with the coxae black, femora 

 red, tibiae and tarsi dead black with centre of former broadly and base 

 of latter pure white ; metathorax dull and closely punctate thruughout ; 

 antennae ver}- slender and hardly shorter than bodv ; J scape pale 

 beneath ; 9 terebra not exserted. Length, 7-7 A mm. 



Extremely closely allied to A. rnajalis but at once known by its filiform 

 and elongate flagellum which in both sexes is very slender and hardlv 

 shorter than body, by the stramineous (by no means piceous, as described 

 by Bridgman) stigma, the dead black extreme ba.se and apex of the clear 

 white hind tibiae; the male has the basal nervure more curved before the 

 stigma, and the female terebra does not extend beyond anus. 



I possess two pairs in Dr. Edward Capron's collection, captured bv 

 him about Shere in Surrey; and these I believe to be the only examples 

 yet known.
