564 Mr. Cameron notes on Hymenoptera, 
opaque, punctured; sternum smooth, shining; tegule 
testaceous. Wings hyaline; nervures for the greater 
part, costa and stigma, livid white; first submarginal 
nervure distinct; third submarginal cellule longer than 
broad. The spurs do not reach to the middle of meta- 
tarsus ; claws with a minute subapical tooth; the cerci 
are longer than spurs; sheath of saw with a long hair 
fringe. Female. Length 23 lin. Expanse of wings, 5} lin. 
Agrees with the Ambiguus-group in having the antenne 
brownish beneath, but differs in the punctured pleure, 
black pronotum, and eclypeus. It differs from pallipes 
and its allies in its more shining body, in having the 
antenne brownish beneath, and the pronotum black. It 
has the legs covered pretty much as in lativentris, 
Thoms., but the body is much narrower, and more 
shining and less punctured, the costa and stigma of a 
more livid white, the third submarginal cellule shorter, 
and the apex of the abdomen is more marked with 
testaceous colour.

Tenthredo togata, Panz. 
No less than five species have been referred to the 
T’.. togata, Pz., by different authors. A reference to the 
original figure and description (F. G., Ixxxiu., f. 12) 
shows beyond doubt that it is the same as Hmphytus 
succinctus, Kl., which name must, therefore, sink in 
favour of togata. 
All this confusion has been caused by Fabricius 
(S. P., 82, 15) describing a species under the name of 
togata which is quite distinct from that described by the 
German author. The Tenthredo togata, Fab., is a rare 
and little-known species, and it has been described under 
the name of cingulatus by St. Fargeau (Mon. 117, 243), 
and as Hmphytus neglectus by Gaddach (Beschr., 27). 
André (Species des Hymén. i. Cat. p. 31*) sinks it asa 
synonym of the common Hmphytus cinctus, but to my 
mind the two are quite distinct ; cingulatus being recog- 
nised from cinctus by its smaller and more slenderly- 
built body, clearer wings, longer and thinner antenne ; 
the mouth, pronotum, and legs marked with white; 
tarsi fuscous ; the posterior tarsi longer compared to the 
tibie, and the blotch much larger, more distinct, and
