3. Eiiocera ivaterstotii, sp. u., ? . 



Head blackish grey, dull, nearly bare ; frontal tubercle 

 small but distinct, simple. Scape of antenuse black, the fiist 

 joint a little over twice as long as broad; flagellum missing. 

 Palpi black ; second joint swollen but elongate, much 

 longer than the first or third, and a little longer even than 

 the fourth. Thorax dull blackish grey ; a whitish line on 

 the extreme margin of the mesonotum ; above this, just in 

 front of the wing-base, a short velvet-black stripe. Upper 

 half of the pleurae deep black, shining except in places ; 

 lower half heavily dusted with whitish grey. Abdomen 

 black, somewhat shining ; ovipositor slender, reddish. Legs: 

 front coxae blackish, the others ochi'eous, all grey-dusted ; 

 trochanters ochreous ; remainder of legs missing. Wings 

 uniformly blackish. Venation like that of E. chirothecata 

 (as figured by Kuntze, 1913), except that Cu^a is hardly 

 beyond the middle of the discal cell, and the distance 

 between the tijjs of Ax and An is over twice that between 

 An and Cug. Hulteres black. 



Length of hody 13 mm. ; wing 12x3'2 mm. 



Macedonia : Rendino Gorge, vi. 1918 (Cupt. J. 

 JVutcrston). 



The venation is very similar to that of E. schnusei, 

 Kuntze; probably, as in that species, the tarsi are dark, but 

 confirmation of this point is required. 



4. Eriocera iimbripennis, sp. n., ?. (PI. X. fig. 2.) 



Head black, with some rather long black bristly hair ; 

 frontal tubercle rather small, triple, a single conically pro- 

 duced U])per division, two more rounded tubeiclcs just above 

 base of antennae. Antennae black, slightly longer than the 

 thorax ; first scapal joint about three times as long as broad ; 

 flagellum with the first four joints distinct, gradually dimin- 

 ishing in length ; terminal portion scarcely equalling the 

 preceding three joints together. Palpi with the four joints 

 about equal in length, each roughly four times us long as 

 broad. Thorax purplish black ; praescutum with five deeper 

 f)lack stripes, the three middle ones narrow ; }.ubescence 

 black, rather spare and short. Abdomen with the four basal 

 segments dull orange, the rest velvet-black ; valves of the 

 ovipositor ehmgate, slender, reddish. Legs: coxae, tro- 

 chanters, and middle femora black (rest missing). Wings 

 uniformly black. Sc^ ending opposite r; Scg opposite base 

 of E? ; r more than three times its length from tip of Rj ;
