204 Rev. T. A. Marshall's monograph of 



base. Metathorax shining, smooth, or hardly rngulose, indis- 

 tinctly areated. Wings as in oleraceus. Base and upper edge of 

 femora, and tibias at the apex, fuscous ; sometimes the legs are 

 almost entirely black. First abdominal segment smooth in the 

 middle, rimulose at the sides. Terebra as long as abdomen and 

 metathorax. Otherwise like oleraceus. 3' ? • Length, f — 1 ; 

 wings, 2 — 2^ lin. 



Obtained plentifully by Brischke on the wood of an 

 old bathing-machine, and supposed to be a parasite of 

 Anohium (Eatz., /. c). I have taken it in Leicestershire 

 and Yorkshire, and not uncomroonly on Umhellifene 

 near Teignmouth ; Billups has also found it at Peckham. 



3. Diospiliis ovatus, n. s. 



Niger palpis concoloribus. Facies punctulata nitida ; clypeus 

 convexus ; mandibulae basi rufse. Utriusque sexus antennae 23- 

 articulatse, articulo 3tio basi anguste testaceo. Metathorax rugu- 

 losus, obsolete areatus. Areola radialis stigmate paulo longior et 

 latior, inter stigma alaeque apicem in medio desinens ; radius cur- 

 vatus ; areola cubitalis 2da lateribus parallelis. Pedes testacei 

 femorum latere externo tibiarumque posticaruni apice fuscis, tarsis 

 fuscescentibus. Feminse abdomen rotimdatum, maris ovatum, 

 breve ; segmentum lum postice latiusculum, feminae transversum, 

 mai-is latitudine apicali non longius ; medio et apice Itevigatum, 

 lateribvis rimulosis. Terebra abdomine non longior. 



Black, with black palpi. Face punctulate, shining ; clypeus 

 convex ; mandibles rufous at the base. Antennae ^ $ 23-jointed, 

 3d joint narrowly testaceous at the base. Metathorax rugulose, 

 obsoletely areated. Radial areolet rather longer and broader than 

 the stigma, ending haK-way between the stigma and the apex of 

 the wing ; radius curved ; sides of the 2d cubital areolet parallel. 

 Legs testaceous, outer edge of the femora and apex of the hind 

 tibia fuscous ; tarsi fuscescent. Abdomen J rounded, ^ ovate, 

 short ; 1st segment much widened behind, transverse in the J , in 

 the 3' ^ot longer than its apical width ; smooth in the middle and 

 at the apex, rimulose at the sides. Terebra not longer than the 

 abdomen. Length, 1:^ ; wings, 2| lin. 



The $ differs from the two preceding and from morosus 

 in the shortness of the terebra ; the <? is distinct from 

 oleraceus by the colour of the palpi and legs, the shorter, 

 narrower radial areolet, and the number of joints of the 

 antennae ; from cajnto by the radial areolet and the
