Antennae scutellum and abdomen all testaceous. Hind tibiae 



without black apices ferruginea, Leach 



= newmanni, Westw. -- ; sellata, W. F. Kirby. 



Type of newmanni at Oxford. Type of sellata in B.M. 

 The Typo of ferruginea (B.M.) is a ?." 



15. Antennae with only 5 joints completely* separated from the 

 apical club. Labial palpi with only 3 joints, maxillary 



with only 4 ](>. 



Antennae with <> joints completely * separated from the club. 

 (Genus Xyloperga, Shipp — Heptacola, Konow). Labial palpi

Hi. Larger — about 1-1 mm. long. Wings stained with yellow, 

 their margins with a faint greyish-purple infuscation. Abdo- 

 men belted with bright red over its 2nd and 3rd segments, 

 the following segments deep black. 



gravenhorstii, Westw. = peletieri, Westw. 



Type of 'peletieri at Oxford. The Type of gravenhorstii 

 ■ — also at Oxford — is a $. 



— Smaller — about 11-12 mm. long. Wings and abdomen coloured 

 otherwise 17. 



17. Abdomen blackish above, more or less rufescent near the arti- 

 culations of its segments. At the sides and on the ventral 

 plates it bears conspicuous whitish markings. Clypeus and 

 labium yellow. . . . bella, Newman =foersteri, Westw. 



N.B. — The clypeus, especially when viewed laterally, 

 appears as though its apex ended on each side in a blunt, 

 bul distinctly projecting, tooth ! (This is because the 

 clypeus, before its apical margin which is slightly reflexed, 

 is impressed deeply at its centre but not at its sides so 

 that the corners are left standing up at a higher level 

 than the rest.) 



N.B.- — Both fore- and hind-wings, as in castanea, are 

 furnished with patches of scale-like hairs in the radial 

 and cubital an 



Type of foersteri at Oxford. (It is, I think, certainly 

 the $ of bella, which was described from a $)• There is 

 another specimen quite like it in B.M. 



* By "completely" I mean "all round." The club itself 

 sometimes appears nunc or less indented laterally (as though 

 jointed), but the indentation never runs completely round it !
