242 Mr. E. Saunders' Synopsis of 



abdominal segments red at the apex. Abdomen of the 

 ? very finely rugulose, not distinctly punctured ; apical 

 dorsal valve not punctured at the apex, and its margin 

 not reflexed. Wings slightly brownish. 



(? . Black ; face sparingly clothed with bro^oi hairs. 

 Clypeus largely and deeply punctured, its anterior mar- 

 gin emarginate and somewhat reflexed. Antennae reach- 

 ing to the base of the abdomen, each joint of the 

 flagellum curved. Vertex punctured, face above the 

 antennae finely strigose. Mesothorax shining, sparingly 

 clothed with ochreous-brown hairs, clearly but not closely 

 punctured ; basal area of the metathorax finely rugose 

 at the base, shining towards the apex, sides finely rugose 

 and punctured, and clothed with long hairs. Abdomen 

 shining, subelongate, clearly punctured, each segment 

 with a narrow red or testaceous apical band, the 3rd and 

 following segments with a line of pale hairs at the apex ; 

 2nd with a few pale hairs on the disk ; beneath sparsely 

 punctured and clothed with long hairs, 3rd and follow- 

 ing segments ciliated at the apex, apex of 8th segment 

 entire. Legs clothed with pale brownish hairs ; tarsi 

 piceous. 



? . Head and thorax clothed with ochreous-brown or 

 reddish brown hairs, those on the face above the antennae 

 darker. Mesothorax finely and sparsely punctured ; 

 metathorax as in the ^ . Abdomen ovate, very finely 

 rugulose, but scarcely punctured, except on the 5th seg- 

 ment ; 1st and 2nd segments more or less red at the 

 apex, the sides of the 2nd also in the bright varieties 

 red ; the abdomen in some varieties is rather densely 

 clothed with pale hairs, and all the segments bear dis- 

 tinct apical fringes, and are slightly punctured ; in the 

 brighter varieties there is generally less pubescence ; 

 anal fimbria dark brown ; apical dorsal valve simple, and 

 not punctured towards the apex. Abdomen beneath 

 punctured, red at the base, clothed with long pale hairs. 

 Legs clothed with dark brown hairs ; femora and scopae 

 beneath with pale hairs. Length 11 — 13 mm. 



Hab. This is a rare species. I took it last year at 

 Bournemouth off Rnhis in comj^any with bimaculata, 

 and it has occurred at Shirley, Pieigate, Hastings, Ilfra- 

 combe, and Sidmouth. 



Its nearest ally is Trimmerana, but the impunctate 

 simple dorsal valve of the Gth segment in the $ , and
