70 HYMENOPTERA ACULEATA. 



S.exaltatuf!. Oxford ; (R. C. L.Perlnns). Hastings; (Frishy) . 

 Haldon; Whitsand Bay, Plymouth; Slapton ; [Bignell). 

 Gloucestershire; preys on a small smooth hairless spider; 

 (V. R. Perhins). Perth. 



S. parvulus, Dahlh. — In colour like the preceding 

 species, but the wings in the $ without any definite round 

 apical spot. 



g with the apical ventral valve narrow, the sides not 

 fimbriated, the apex truncate, and the base keeled in the 

 centre. 



? with the surface rather more shining, the wings with 

 a dusky streak across the second and third submarginal 

 cells, and a dusky cloud in the third discoidal, the apex 

 of the wings widely clouded, beyond the apex of the third 

 submarginal is a clearer spot, but this does not take a regular 

 round form as in the other species ; another good specific 

 distinction is the very short basal margin of the scutellum, 

 which is perceptibly shorter than m piisillus. 



L. 4-8 mm. 



This is the smallest species of the genus, although large 

 females attain the size of the preceding. 



Common on sandy banks, &c., Woking; Chobham ; 

 Bournemouth; Bromley. Oxford; (i?. C. L. Perkins). 

 Seaton ; Swanage; (Dale). Land's End; {Marquand). 

 Devon; {Parfiti). Colchester ; (ifarwoorf). 



CALICUEGUS, Lep. 



We have only one British representative of this genus. 

 Kohl, in 1884, says that there is only one described species, 

 but that he knows nine undescribed species in collections. 

 It is closely allied to Sulius ; but differs in having the 

 upper and lower transverse basal nervures of the anterior 

 wings united, and also in the great dissimilarity in colour 

 of the sexes, and the very long white calcaria of the <J .
