372 Mr. P. Cameron's descriptions of new 



clearly impressed sutures on mesonotum, and less hairy 

 thorax. M. longitarsis is readily distinguished from it 

 by the 3rd and 4th joints of the antennae being equal in 

 length. 



Hab. Bonar Bridge, Sutherlandshire, in June. 



Aegilips scotica, n. s. 



Black ; covered with a longish scattered pale down. 

 Antennae reddish brown beneath from the middle of 1st 

 joint. Mouth and palpi brown ; tegulae testaceous ; coxae 

 black, except at extreme apex ; trochanters and posterior 

 femora for the most part, and the anterior to a less 

 extent, fuscous-black; the rest of legs dull testaceous 

 obscured with fuscous. Wings hyaline ; nervures fus- 

 cous. Mesonotum almost shining, very slightly and 

 closely punctured ; furrows deep ; there is a transverse 

 furrow at base of scutellum ; in front of this and be- 

 tween the two lateral furrows is a shallow pit, which is 

 wider than long. Scutellum rugose, terminating in a 

 short, blunt, thick spine, which is obliquely truncated at 

 the top. Metathorax rugose, reticulated ; in centre of 

 metanotum are two smooth fields, the upper being the 

 largest. Collar striated in front. Below the tegulae on 

 mesopleura is a triangular striated part bounded by a 

 ridge. Petiole rugose, shorter than broad. Abdomen 

 shorter than thorax, smooth, shining. Antennae as long 

 as the body ; 3rd and 4th joints equal. Male. Length, 

 nearly 4 mm. 



This species has the greatest resemblance to A. 

 subulifera, Thorns., but that species has the mesonotum 

 semiopaque, transversely striated, and the petiole much 

 longer than broad. 



Hab. Glen Moriston, in June. 



Aegilips ruficomis, n. s. 



Black ; antennae (except at base and apex), and legs 

 red ; coxae black, except at apex ; posterior tarsi and 

 apex of tibiae fuscous. Antennae if anything longer 

 than the body, becoming thickened towards the apex ; 

 3rd and 4th joints subequal ; 5th shorter ; last joint 

 one-half longer than preceding. Mesonotum smooth, 

 shining ; sutures distinct, but shallow ; transverse
