nigris dense vestitis, alis saturate infuscatis; abdomine submicante subtilissime et 
ereberrime punctato, tibiis posticis apicibus productis, uncis duobus incurvatis 
nigro-fuscis armatis. Long., 13—14 mm. 
This fine species, which I have much pleasure in naming after its 
talented captor, is somewhat allied to pacilonota, Perez, but is very 
different in the black pubescence of the head and thorax and the 
general coloration.

Valldemosa, March 27th. In Majorca these insects were found in stony hilly 
country, frequently settling on the ground. They were extremely hard to catch. 
In Minorea, on the other hand, they were far more abundant and easily captured. 
The difference may have been due to the colder, more windy, weather in the latter 
island (E. B. P.). San Cristobal, Minorca, and Inca, Majorca, March and April,
