Black ; apex of sixth joint of antennae, the seventh, eighth, and base 

 of ninth, clypeus, labrum, mandibles, two spots over posterior coxa3, 

 white ; apex of mandibles piceous ; palpi white, pilose ; mesonotum 

 opaque, punctured. Legs : coxae, trochanters, and femora more or less, 

 apex of tibiae and posterior tarsi more or less black; part of femora, 

 tibiae almost wholly, and apex of tarsi, livid red ; anterior knees, tibia?, 

 and tarsi livid white in front. Pleurae finely punctured. Abdomen 

 black, the middle and apex frequently red. Wings hyaline, costa and 

 stigma fuscous, the latter livid white at the base (having a greenish 

 tinge when fresh) ; tegulae black. Sheath of saw largely projecting, 

 reddish in the middle. 



The $ has the abdomen entirely reddish-testaceous beneath, and for 

 the greater part above ; the anterior legs are livid white in front, the 

 rest red, more or less lined with black above. 



Length 5 6 lines. 



From the succeeding species livida is distinguished 

 by the colour of the stigma, longer antennae, more 

 pubescent mesonotum and pleurae, and more pilose 

 head ; the legs are more marked with black, and of a 

 livid, not clear red ; the red on the abdomen is paler, 

 less distinctly and more irregularly spread over the 

 .segments. 



In coloration it varies exceedingly ; the white on 

 the antennae is irregularly distributed over the apical 

 joints; the legs and abdomen are very often quite 

 black (this ab. being I believe the bipunctata of Klug), 

 fuscous black, or pitchy. Generally the apex (the three 

 apical segments) is red ; but sometimes it is black, 

 pitchy, or testaceous. The legs have usually the coxae, 

 trochanters, the whole of posterior femora, the two 

 anterior femora at the base, the apex of posterior tibiae 

 .and tarsi black, but occasionally they show red, and in 

 rarer cases are quite black. The wings have some- 

 times a fuscous tinge. 



The larva, according to Kaltenbach, feeds during 

 September and October on Lonicera racemosa and 

 xylosteum. It is one inch long, bare, pale yellow,
