base ; all the tarsi piceous ; stigma and nervures piceous, 

 base of wings pale. Male. Length, 3 mm. 



This insect is, in the shape of the abdomen, somewhat 

 like fulvipes, but the legs are more slender, the neuration 

 also is very different, and the 1st segment is not so 

 broad, &c. 



I bred two specimens, unfortunately both males, from 

 the egg-bags of a spider which I found in a rolled-up 

 nettle-leaf, protected by the spider herself ; one was 

 developed from each bag. Norwich.

Pedibus fulvis, coxis anterioribus albis, posticis nigris ; 

 tibiis posticis apice fuscis ; marginibus segmentorum in-

 basi albis. 



Head transverse, slightly narrowed behind the eyes ; 

 face between the eyes parallel ; space between the eyes 

 and the mandibles about equal to the width of the base 

 of the mandibles ; clypeus separated from the face, but 

 not by a sharp line ; the teeth of mandibles subequal, 

 the upper one a little the longer ; head somewhat shining, 

 very finely and closely punctured, a shining depression 

 over each antenna ; this latter in the female subfusi-

 three times as long as wide, the 2nd and 3rd of the same 

 length, filiform in the male, a little shorter than the 

 abdomen ; face pubescent. Thorax subopaque, finely 

 reticulate, trilobed in front ; lines reaching to about the 

 middle of the mesonotum ; metathorax rather short, 

 with two transverse curved lines, with fine longitudinal 

 aciculations ; lateral lines occasionally present, whereby 

 a supero-medial area is formed, which, when present, is 

 rounded in front and wider than behind ; the posterior 

 face divided into three arese. Abdomen of female elon- 

 gate-ovate, male elongate ; 1st segment of abdomen 

 about twice as wide at the apex as at the base, and about 

 three times as long as the width of the apex, rather 

 wider in the female than in the male ; spiracles placed 

 behind the middle, but not prominent ; petiole with two 

 obsolete ridges, the whole segment aciculate ; 2nd seg-
