90 TENTHREDO MACULATA. 



Easily known from all the other species of the 

 genus by the longish antennae, thickened in the 

 middle, and by the black posterior legs and mouth. 



It is not a common species, and appears to be 

 confined to the southern countries. Stephens records 

 it from Darenth Wood, and Mr. C. W. Dale tells me 

 that he has it from the New Forest. 



It is found in Germany, Sweden (according to Dahl- 

 bom, but Thomson does not mention it), Denmark, 

 France, and Switzerland. 



Antennae black, the sixth, seventh, and eighth joints thick- 

 ened. Mouth, abdomen, and legs marked with yellow. Meso- 

 notum shining; scutellum raised, oval; pleurae half shining, 

 finely punctured in the middle, pilose. Abdomen cylindrical. 

 Clypeus not very deeply incised. (Species 15 and 16).

Black ; shining, somewhat pilose, clypeus, labrum, mandibles, palpi, 

 edge of pronotum, tegulse and scutellum, yellow. Legs yellow ; coxae, 

 femora, and apices of the tibiae and basal joint of the posterior tarsi 

 black. Abdomen black, fourth, fifth, and the ninth segment at its apex, 

 pale yellow. Wings hyaline, faintly clouded at the apex, costa and 

 stigma black. 



The $ is pale yellow, with the head (except the mouth), meso- (ex- 

 cept scutellum) and metathorax, a mark over the basal abdominal seg- 

 ment, the apical abdominal segments, and a line over the femora, 

 tibiae, and tarsi black, the black on the anterior femora being only over 

 the apical third and that on the middle pair on the apical half. The 

 line over the tarsi is somewhat interrupted. The tarsi are covered on 

 underside with close, thickly-pressed hair.
