Head black, coarsely punctured; antenne red, with their 
three or four apical joints piceous; mandibles red, their apex 
piceous. 
Thorax hirsute, coarsely punctured, red ; legs red, very hairy. 
Abdomen black, punctured, hirsute ; a white patch of grey hair 
on the centre towards the base of the second segment, and a 
fascia composed of the same pubescence on its margin, and on 
the third, occupying nearly the whole of the latter, the last 
segment piceous ; the general pubescence griseous 9. 
The ¢ differs in having the antenne black. The thorax 
black, with the collar, dorsolum, and scutellum red ; the wings 
darkly clouded, their margin having a still darker border, ex- 
tending inwardly as far as the apex of the marginal and sub- 
marginal cells ; the nervures piceous; the legs black, hirsute, 
with the apex of the tarsi piceous. The abdomen with a white 
band at the base of the third segment, and a transverse line on 
the sides of the fourth and fifth, all formed of a silvery grey.

+4+ The ¢ was taken in the year 1822 by Mr. Curtis, at 
Shooter’s Hill, in Kent, and the ? at Black Gang Chine, 
in the Isle of Wight, where also Mr. Walker has captured 
it; and the Rev. G. T. Rudd found it at the same place 
last year, in June, in some numbers; he took also three 
males, and it is to his liberality that I am indebted for my 
specimen. He saw several others, and remarked that to- 
wards the heat of the day they ascend higher up the cliff, 
and are consequently accessible only early in the morning.
