Var. inermts, Brunn. 



Insufficiently described, but wants the two points at the 

 extremity of the abdomen, and the central tooth on the inside 

 of the forceps is nearly obsolete. Recorded by Brunner from 

 Austria and Servia. I identify a light-coloured specimen from 

 Spain with this form. 



3. L. marginella, Costa. 



A small dark form, from Vesuvius, wanting the anal points 

 in the male. Krauss regards it as a local form of L. ripai'ia, 

 and as identical with inerjnis of Brunner. 



4. L. hicolor, Fisch. Waldh. 'I 



5. L. Fischeri, Fisch. Waldh. J 



Doubtful forms from the north coast of the Black Sea, 

 whicli will doubtless be recognized when other specimens are 

 brought from that locality. Tlie first is not figured, and the 

 second hardly seems to be a true Lahidura^ j^^gii^g horn the 

 description and figure. 



6. L. distincta, Rodz. 



Another doubtful form from Transcaucasia (unfigured). 



7. L. palhpes, Fabr. 



This name is usually applied to the dark form of L. riparia ; 

 but tlie types are lost, and the insect cannot be identified till 

 more specimens are received from its locality, the Cape Verde 

 Islands. 



8. L. herculeana, Fabr. 



A doubtful form from St. Helena. I believe the type is 

 still extant at Kiel. 



9. L. ternnncdis, Serv. 



A Mauritian insect. There is only one female specimen in 

 the Museum, which is not sufficient to elucidate this form. 



10. L. auditor, Scudd. 



A South-African form (unfigured) which I have not seen. 



11. L. crenata, Oliv. 



A South- African form, without anal points in the male, but 

 with a second smaller tooth on the inner side of the forceps in 

 the male, as in L. icterica ; the forceps of the female strongly 

 crenulated.
