obtuse, rugulose, almost truncated behind, with some yellowish 
pubescence, and a shortened medial carina. Wings subhyaline : 
squamule brownish ; nervures and stigma dark brown ; the latter 
moderately incrassated in the middlc, elongate, acuminate at both 
ends, emitting the radial nervure before one-third of its length ; 
radial nervure thickened towards its base : radial areolet lanceo- 
late, hardly attenuated and sinuated towards the extremity ; recur- 
rent nervure considerably rejected. Fore legs testaceous, the 
femora sometimes streaked with black above ; legs of the middle 
pair testaceous, their femora more or less blackish towards the 
base ; hind legs blackish, the tips of the trochanters and extreme 
base of the tibiz doll testaceous ; all the coxe blackish. Abdomen 
longer than the head and thorax, depressed, spathulate ; Ist 
segment black, slender, as long as one-third of the abdomen, strio- 
lite, canaliculate in the middle, with prominent tubercles ; the 
following segments testaceous, smooth, those near the extremity 
more or less darkened, or cinctured with fuscous, each segment 
traversed, near the hind border, by a line formed of minute im- 
pressed points. Terebra hardly exserted.  ¢ similar ; antennz 
longer and more slender, blackish ; Ist segment comparatively 
longer. Length, 24 lines; exp., 5 lines. 
This species exceeds in size the largest Alysia; it is 
rivalled, but not surpassed, by the foliowing. Térster 
has made for its reception the genus Phanolevis. It 
occurs somewhat rarely in woods; my six specimens 
were taken in Wilts, Devon, and 8.Wales; Nees captured 
it in the Sudetsche Gebirge. In Wesmael’s unnamed 
collection are several Belgian specimens.
