Var. 1, 2 • Orbits broadly, disk of mesothorax in front, and 

 margins of abdomen all round, testaceous. Antennae 30-jointed. 

 Segments 4 — 5 very finely rugulose. 



Var. 2, (J . Head entirely black, except the mandibles. 



5 . Antennae 29 — 32-jointed. An orbital spot under the eyes, 

 another on the vertex, and an intermediate spot on each side, 

 testaceous. First abdominal segment with the lateral margins 

 narrowly testaceous ; segments 2 — 3 more broadly, the border 

 becoming attenuated hmdwards, and often continued along the 

 4th segment. Anterior half or two-thirds of the belly also pale. 

 Segments 2 — 3 finely rugulose longitudinally, 3 sometimes nearly 

 smooth, the rest showing hardly any traces of sculpture. Wings 

 with a hyaline streak under the stigma. 



^ similar ; antennae 37-jointed, in one specimen ; orbits often 

 almost entu'ely testaceous. Segments 2 — 3 more rugose and less 

 shining ; segment 4 with some distinct rugosities. 



Bignell has taken in Devonshire four females and two 

 males ; one of the latter heing var. 2. Elisha hred two 

 males from Eiqm'ciUa ciliana, Hiih., July 31st. Brischke 

 obtained a ^ variety from Bcmhecia hylceiformis, Lasp.
