legs. At first I had thought it possibly the unknown $ 

 of H. longipes, Holmgr., to which the colour of the legs is 

 more nearly referable, but the comparatively short antenna, 

 entirely black abdomen and fulvous hind tarsi seem to 

 preclude such a situation. In its distinct metathoracic 

 arese, it appears related with the Aniarophron-gYO\jL\>, with 

 which, however, it has no other character in common. 



I swept this species from rank herbage in Wroxham 

 Broad in the evening of June 14th, 1901 ; the type* is in 

 my collection. 



HOMOPORUS REFLEXTJS, sp. n. 



Head closely and confluently punctate, dull, black ; vertex not 

 broad, posteriorly entire ; frons centrally distinctly, but not deeply, 

 canaliculate ; face coriaceously punctate somewhat broader apically, 

 with the epistoma a little convex and quadrately pale in the centre ; 

 clypeus testaceous, deplanate, not laterally elevated, but with the 

 apical margin entire and strongly reflexed ; palpi and base of the 

 stout mandibles flavescent, latter slightly broader than the length of 

 the cheeks. Antenna? longer than head and thorax, and slightly 

 pilose, filiform, entirely black with the apices of the seven basal 

 flagellar joints subnodulose. Thorax black, with a hamate line and 

 a dot before with a longitudinal callosity beneath the front wings, 

 and the basal margin of the mesopleura? fiavous ; mesothorax some- 

 what nitidulous, finely and evenly punctate throughout with the 

 notauli entirely wanting ; metathorax evenly scabriculous throughout 

 with minute circular spiracles, and the apex centrally substrigose 

 between two broad and shallow fovea?. Scutellum subdeplanate, 

 evenly and closely punctate, somewhat nitidulous, with the apical 

 margin, together with that of the post-scutellum, transversely flavidous. 

 Abdomen elongate-oval, immaculate, centrally as broad as thorax, 

 finely alutaceous and dull, becoming nitidulous towards the slightly 

 compressed anus ; basal segment quadrate, laterally marginate with 

 no carina?, the following transverse with the second obsoletely 

 aciculate at its base ; terebra reflexed. Legs clear red, with the tibia? 

 and front tarsi testaceous ; the hind tibia? becoming gradually 

 nigrescent from centre to apex, and their tarsi entirely and the anterior 

 at the apex, black ; hind calcaria testaceous and not reaching centre 

 of the metatarsus. Wings hyaline, with tegula? white, stigma 

 testaceous ; areolet subpetiolate, broad with the outer nervure well 

 defined ; nervellus a little postfurcal and intercepted only slightly 

 below the centre.
