cuts off its upper angle together with the Ist abscissa ; 2nd dis- 
coidal areolet short, subquadrate; recurrent nervure rejected. 
Legs flavotestaceous ; tips of the tarsi obscure. Abdomen as long 
as the thorax, spathulate, subtruncate at the apex ; Ist segment 
black, linear, twice as long as its apical width, hardly aciculate, not 
shining, its tubercles situated in the middle ; the following seg- 
ments piceous, becoming darker towards the anal extremity. 
Terebra very short. ¢ Antenne longer, 32-jointed ; 2nd cubital 
areolet still further invaded by the stigma ; abdomen narrower, 
depressed. Length, 1 line ; exp., 25 lines. 
This species is easily distinguished from all others by 
the peculiarity of the 2nd cubital areolet. It forms by 
itself the genus Agonia, Forst. Rare in Ireland, accord- 
ing to Haliday. I have taken both sexes in Hngland, at 
St. Alban’s, Herts, and Bishop’s Teignton, Devon. See
