1. Phenocarpa pullata, Hal. (PI. XITI., fig. 5, wing.) 
Alysia pullata, Hal., Ent. Mag., v., 232, 3 9, pl. xvii, 
f. 15 (wing). 
Radial areolet not reaching the tip of the wing. @ Deep black, 
shining ; mandibles brownish; palpi dusky. Antenne as long as 
the body, 34-jointed. Mesothoracic sutures complete, crenulate, 
meeting in an acute angle near the scutellum ; metathorax rugu- 
lose. Wings subhyaline : squamula rufous ; nervures and stigma 
fuscous, the latter oblong, emitting the radial nervure beyond the 
middle ; radial areolet short, lanceolate ; radial nervure curved ; 
2nd abscissa very little longer than the 1st intercubital nervure ; 
recurrent nervure interstitial ; pobrachial areolet of the hindwings 
shorter than half the prebrachial. Legs blackish or brown, the 
forelegs lighter, as well as the underside of all the femora, and 
the base of the tibiz. Abdomen depressed, shining ; 1st segment 
hardly longer than broad, striolate. Terebra not surpassing the 
apex of the abdomen, directed upwards. ¢ Similar; antenne 
longer than the body, 38-jointed. Length, 2; wings, 4 lin. 
I have taken this species in S. Wales, Wiltshire, and 
Devonshire. According to Haliday, it is rare in Ireland.

Mesothoracic sutures incomplete ; a punctiform fovea before the 
scutellum ; furrow of the mesopleure finely traced, crenulate. 
Wings obscure ; squamula rufous ; stigma pale fuscous, oblong ; 
radial areolet cultriform ; 2nd abscissa curved at the base, hardly
