England; but I have no northern or western localities for

CHOROSOMA, Curt. 
At once recognizable by its very elongate linear flattened 
form, which is quite unlike that of any other British genus ; 
the antenniferous tubercles are quite flat at the sides, the 
second joint of the antenne, as in Myrmus, is widest at 
the base and gradually tapers to the apex, the antennz are 
smooth, and clothed with a very fine inconspicuous pubes- 
cence; in the ¢ the genital segments are scarcely visible 
from above beyond the somewhat truncate segment that 
covers them; in the ? three segments are distinctly visible, 
the apical one truncate ; tarsi with the basal joint twice as 
long as the second and third together. There are three 
Palearctic species, all of which are closely allied.

Head with the eyes situated at some distance from the pro-

tenn with the first joint about as long as the fourth, second 
and third subequal in length, but second thickened towards 
the base ; pronotum punctured, anterior margin and sides 
nearly straight, posterior angles rounded, base slightly sinu- 
ate ; disc with a distinctly raised dorsal line met in front by a 
transverse raised line ; scutellum very narrow, keeled ; elytra 
transparent, nerves pale ochreous, membrane hyaline, 
reaching to about two-thirds of the entire length of the

wards the base, within the connexivum on each side ; legs 
ochreous, posterior femora longer than the tibiz, the latter 
with a dark spot on the inner side of the apex.
