524. Rev. 'T. A. Marshall’s monograph of 
mesopleurze very finely traced, crenulate; metathorax nearly 
smooth ; legs slender, elongate, flavo-rufous; wings hyaline. 
Length, 1; wings, 2 lin. This may be, as suggested by Haliday, 
a distinct species. I possess a single specimen. 
Var. 2. ¢. Slender; entirely black ; antenne slender (muti- 
lated) ; mesothoracic sutures effaced; no dorsal fovea; wings 
hyaline ; nervures and stigma pale testaceous, the latter almost 
obsolete ; legs dark brown with the knees and 2nd joint of the 
trochanters rufescent. Length, 2; wings nearly 2 lin. This 
variety, communicated by Dr. Capron, seems as doubtful as the 
preceding ; it may be the fuscipes of Nees, too briefly described, 
but which, without further information, I must regard as a 
synonym of cephalotes, differing only in the darker colour of the 
legs. 
Var. 3. @. Length, 14; wings, 3£ lin. Antenne longer than 
the body, 24-jointed ; mesothoracic sutures complete ; the dividing 
nervure between the Ist cubital and the 1st discoidal areolets 
inchoate. The large size of this specimen, taken in Cornwall, gives 
it a different aspect from the others, yet its essential characters are 
the same. 
This species is rather common: it has been noticed in 
England, Ireland, Germany, Holland, and Russia, fre- 
quenting sea-weed on the coasts, as well as inland 
situations. Ratzeburg believed his Alysia conjflwens to 
be a parasite of the lepidopteron Amphidasys betularius, 
L.; but it came most probably from some dipterous larva 
which had escaped his observation.

Forst., Verh. Pr. Rheinl., 1862, p. 267. 
Fourth joint of the antenne longer than the 3rd. Maxillary 
palpi 6-, labial 4-jointed. First cubital areolet complete ; 1st inter- 
cubital nervure shorter than the 2nd abscissa ; 2nd discoidal areolet 
complete; anal nervure subinterstitial, rarely interstitial ; pobra- 
chial areolet of the hindwings not half as long as the prebrachial. 
With few exceptions, the antenne are long and slender, the 4th 
and 5th joints both longer than the 3rd; the rugosities of the 
metathorax and Ist abdominal segment are less distinct than in 
Alysia ; the clypeus larger; face convex and nearly smooth; 
stigma oblong, emitting the radial nervure beyond the middle, 
often attenuated and indeterminate towards the tip of the wing. 
The species much resemble Alysia, but must be distinguished by 
the longer 2nd cubital areolet (see table of genera).
