628 Rey. ‘I’. A. Marshall’s monograph of 
rufescent at the base beneath, longer than the body, 27-jointed. 
Mesothoracic sutures crenulate, complete, meeting in a curve 
posteriorly ; between them is an impressed longitudinal line ; 
metathorax rugulose, smoother towards the base. Wings fusces- 
cent : squamula testaceous, nervures and stigma fuscous, the latter 
conspicuous, emitting the radial nervure from its posterior half; 
radial areolet cultriform, reaching the tip of the wing; 2nd cubital 
areolet elongate, very slightly narrowed externally ; 2nd abscissa 
twice as long as the 1st intercubital nervure; 2nd intercubital 
nervure more distinctly clouded with brown than the other 
nervures; pobrachial areolet of the hindwings very small. Legs 
dull rufous. Abdomen depressed ; Ist segment rather long, twice 
as wide at the extremity as at the base, finely striolate. Terebra, 
measured from the base, as long as the abdomen. ¢ Similar; 
antenue one-half longer than the body, or still longer, 30-32- 
jointed. Length, 13-1? ; wings, 3-4 lin. 
Rather common in damp shady places, in England and 
Ireland ; I have often captured it.

Metathorax transversely subcarinate near the extremity, variable, 
head generally rufous, body black, or (in var. 3) body mostly 
testaceous; stigma rather stout, oval. Q Shining; stemmaticum 
black ; face punctulate, Antenne longer than the body, 22-27- 
jointed, two basal joints rufous, 4th very long. Mesothoracic 
sutures punctate anteriorly, less distinct behind, converging to a 
deep fovea before the scutellum; metathorax finely rugulose, 
smooth near the base, sometimes with a medial area more or less 
distinct. Wings hyaline ; squamula dull rufous; nervures and 
stigma fuscous, the latter determinately rounded at each end, 
stouter than in the allied spp. pécinervés and conspurcator (Nos. 4, 9);
