82 Mr. James Edwards’ Synopsis of 
down any characters by which to separate the females of the two 
species. Length, 3; mm. 
By sweeping grasses on wet commons in Norfolk ; not 
unfrequent. In the original description (J. c.) I credit 
this species with flat genital plates: this mistake I 
attribute to insufficient examination of the only speci- 
men then at hand before mounting for the microscope : 
the genital plates in this species agree with those of 
D. citrinella in their pincer-like formation (Pl. IIL, 
fig. 17).
