three segments red, and these are marked with black in 
the centre. 
In Shuckard’s collection, now in the possession of Mr. 
Edward Saunders. 
6. T. ignobilis, Kl. = stigma, Lep., non Fab. 
7. T. nigricollis, Cam. = scutellaris, Lep., non Fab.— 
This species is very like ignobilis, but it differs from it in 
having the hinder femora black ; the red band on abdo- 
men is narrower, and the mesonotum is quite black, 
and does not bear a reddish spot on lateral lobes. The 
three foregoing species may be known from the other 
red-banded species by having the pronotum, cox, and 
trochanters black; while scutellaris, &c., have these 
parts more or less marked with white, and they have also 
(except picticeps), the red on abdomen spotted with black 
in the middle. 
8. T. scutellaris, Fab., non Lep. 
9. Tenthredopsis flavomaculatus, Nn. 8. 
Black, shining, pilose; labrum, clypeus, mandibles, 
orbits, a longish spot behind the eyes, edge of pronotum, 
scutellum and the usual parts behind it, sometimes a 
few minute spots on mesonotum, a broad band on base 
of abdomen, and an irregular spot on coxe, bright yellow. 
Antenne pitchy; the edge of second, the whole of third, 
fourth, fifth, and sides of sixth abdominal segments 
bright testaceous-red ; legs bright testaceous ; the greater 
part of coxe and the base (sometimes a line above) of 
hinder femora black ; hinder tarsi more or less fuscous. 
Wings hyaline ; costa and stigma fuscous, the latter 
white at base. 
The male is similarly coloured to the female save that 
the abdomen has only faint indications of the testaceous 
colour on the middle abdominal segments and beneath ; 
the antenne if anything are lighter coloured on lower 
side; the posterior femora are entirely black, and the 
tibie and tarsi pitchy. The last segment above bears 
two deep depressions, and the yellow line on base is 
scarcely visible. Length 43 lin. 
Very similar to 7’. picticeps, but shorter and broader ; 
the antenne are shorter, head wider, head and thorax
