A black species with the face and metathorax somewhat closely white- 

 pubescent, and anus broadly red. Head with the palpi and mandibles 

 ilavidous; antenna! scape pale stramineous beneath; metathoracic areola 

 pentagonal, with distinct costulae. Abdomen castaneous or dull red 

 with the two basal segments, and base of the third discally, black ; basal 

 segment longer than hind coxae and trochanters, the second longer than 

 broad ; terebra shortly exserted. Legs pale fulvous, with coxae black 

 and trochanters stramineous ; front coxae apically pale, hind trochanters 

 basally rufescent above ; hind femora and tibiae nigrescent with apices 

 of the former, and centre of latter externally, rufescent. Wings slightly 

 clouded ; areolet wanting, stigma infuscate, tegulae pale stramineous, 

 fenestrae punctiform, radial nervure apically elongate, nervellus not 

 geniculate. Length, 7 mm. 



Nees took one about Sickershausen. Brischke bred both .sexes in 

 Prussia from Hypc7ia rosiralis, gives a good description and adds that the 

 cocoon is cylindrical, brownish-grey with a yellowish central zone ; he 

 doubtfully referred it to Forster's genus Eriborus, which differs from the 

 present only in its lack of areolet, and there it is treated of by Schmiede- 

 knecht, who has found a few specimens in Thuringia. It is given as 

 British, under Linuicria, in Marshall's 1870 Catalogus ; but I cannot find 

 that anyone has a-ctually taken it, nor upon what grounds Marshall in- 

 cluded it. The only subsequent records are Thomson's from Dalmatia, 

 (jauUe's from France and Tosquinet's in August from Belgium. JMr. van 

 Burgst has given me this species from Breda.
