Limneria canaUcidata, Gr. 

 Gr., I. E. iii., 560, ? . 



Mr. D. Wheeler gave me a specimen of this Limneria, 

 which he bred from larvae brought from Wicken Pen, 

 but as several species were mixed together, he could not 

 say which was the host. 



Head rather broad behind the eyes, scarcely narrowed ; 

 face transverse ; transverse anal nervure not interrupted ; 

 supero-medial area subcordiform, not closed behind ; 

 lateral areae not divided ; 2nd abdominal segment one- 

 third longer than wide ; 3rd longer than wide. 



Limneria Kriechhaumeri, n. s. 



Pedibus rufis, coxis trochanteribusque nigris, meta- 

 thorace brevissimo, aculeo longitudine tertiae partis 

 abdominis. 



Head transverse, narrow behind the eyes ; face densely 

 pubescent ; face quadrate ; eyes slightly emarginate 

 against the antennae ; mandibular teeth equal ; thorax 

 higher than long ; metathorax very short, with no upper 

 face, forming an inclined plane from the post-scutellum 

 to the base of the petiole, like the rest of the thorax, 

 reticulate, no trace of areae, with glistening white hairs ; 

 1st segment of abdomen almost straight ; petiole slender ; 

 post-petiole longer than wide, more slender in the male 

 than in the female, in the latter about twice and in the 

 male one and a half times as wide as the petiole ; the 

 2nd segment longer than wide ; the 3rd and remainder 

 transverse; apex of abdomen slightly compressed; aculeus 

 of female about one-third the length of the abdomen. 

 Areolet subsessile ; recurrent nervure received just be- 

 yond the middle ; cubital nervure without areolet ; trans- 

 verse anal nervure divided far below the middle, but 

 without nervure running from the geniculation ; claws 

 of tarsi simple ; apical joint of hind tarsi longer than 

 the 4th. 



Black ; palpi and mandibles, except the teeth, yellow ; 

 legs red ; coxae and trochanters black ; extreme base of 

 tibiae yellow; apex of hind tarsi somewhat fuscous, as 

 well as apical joint of intermediate ones sometimes ;
