 the flagellnm, or if half as long then pharply

Of these, lobicornis and sulcinodis are the darkest, although 

 sriibriiiodis vaaj he almost as' dark; sulcinodis in the ? and 

 5 is of a redder colour and very rugose ; niginodis and 

 liPvinodis are much smoother, and the longer scape with its 

 regular bend give to these races a peculiar appearance, 

 which distinguishes them easily from scahrinodis when the 

 eye is once familiar with it. Most of the races are common, 

 scahrinodis particularly so ; sulcinodis is rare, but occurs at 

 Chobham and Woking. Bloxworth ; Studland; Bourne- 

 mouth; Parley Heath ; [Bale).
