One female bred from Botijs asinaUs. 



Like L. bdlator and commixa, but stouter and more 

 glabrous, especially the abdomen, which is differently 

 sculptured.

One female sent to me by Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher.

 the abdomen, which are shining and not opaque ; the 

 hind C0X8B partly red. 



Lissonota lineata, Gr. 



Gr., I. E., iii., 82, <? . 



Gravenhorst described four male species of Lissonota, 

 which are very much alike in coloration, all having pale 

 dorsal lines on the mesonotum, black coxae varied with 

 yellow, and a fifth species with red coxte varied with 

 yellow, L. j)arallela ; of these four species, Taschenburg 

 says j^erspicillator is a var. of jxirallela, and arf/iola and 

 lineata are varieties of bdlator ; Gravenhorst ssiysinsignita
