apparent rarity. Bridgman took a single example at Brundall in Norfolk 
during June; I have seen a female from near Carlisle in 1900, in 
Routledge’s collection, another from Kings Lynn, September, 1909, in 
Atmore’s collection, and I possess three females and a single male. The 
latter is from Capron’s collection, probably taken.in Surrey; and of the 
former one was found at Folkestone, 25th August, 1907 (P. de la Garde), 
one about Brockenhurst in the New Forest, September, 1go1 (W. G. 
Cross), and the last at Wimbledon Common, August, 1909 (Rupert Sten- 
ton, Entom. 1910, p. 38). 
PRIONOPODA, Holmgr. 
Holmgr. Sv. Ak. Handl. 1855, p. 120; Priopoda, Holmgr. lib. cit. 1854, p. 61. 
Head a little transverse, subcubical and tumidulous; vertex sub- 
emarginate; clypeus not convex and hardly discreted; cheeks and 
mandibles stout, teeth of latter subequal in length; ocelli nearer each 
other than to orbits. Antennae filiform, elongate with scape ovate. 
Thorax with obsolete notauli; metanotum with indistinct but regular 
areae. Abdomen distinctly petiolate; basal segment deplanate, mar- 
gined, basally constricted, with discal sulcus obsolete or wanting and its 
apex but slightly explanate, its spiracles distinctly a little before the 
centre ; following segments broader than long; terebra shortly exserted. 
Legs normal with the tarsal claws shortly and sparsely pectinate. Wings 
subample with areolet entire. 
This genus is known from the remainder of the Tryphonini by its 
buccate head, pectinate claws, antemedial petiolar spiracles and petiolate 
abdomen.
