This is probably “ new,” but I abstain from describing 
it as such on a single specimen. The abdomen bears 
lateral white spots on the basal segments, segment 1 is 
red, the other segments black. It is much more shining 
on the thorax (especially the prothorax in front, and the 
sides of the propodeum) than théryi, the body seems un- 
usually pilose, and the spines of the legs (pecten, ete.) 
particularly long. 
It is not dewitzi (!), the only Philoponus (besides théryi) 
with which I have had the opportunity of comparing it.

I have hesitated a good deal as to my proper course in 
dealing with the records relating to this Genus. By some 
unlucky accident all save one of my own captures have 
escaped mention of any kind in Mr. Saunders’s MS. list 
now lying before me. My determinations of these, there- 
fore, have not his authority, and this I have thought it 
best to indicate by enclosing them between square 
brackets [ ]. But a greater difficulty is that on full 
consideration I find myself unable to agree with the con- 
clusions to which (if I rightly understand his MS.) my 
friend had come, as to certain identifications of Mr. EKaton’s 
insects; and yet Ido not think I should be justified in 
silently ignoring those conclusions, and modifying the list 
he had prepared in accordance with my own notions. I 
shall therefore publish the list as he left it; and in cases 
where it seems necessary, shall record my dissent and the 
reasons for it between square brackets. As to the name of 
the Genus I should have preferred myself to acquiesce, as
