cJ . Antenna) thick, nearly as long as the body, reddish, the two 

 basal joints black. Head black, clypeus, epistoma, labrum, mandibles 

 (except the tips, which are brownish), inner orbits of the eyes, broadly 

 in front and narrowly behind, and the sides of head behind yellowish- 

 white. Thorax black, shining, two spots on centre of mesonotum, the 

 greater part of pleura? and scutellum, a triangular spot behind and the 

 cenchri yellowish- white. Abdomen yellowish. Legs reddish, white at 

 the base. Wings hyaline, costa and stigma testaceous-white. 



The ? I have never seen. According to Thomson it has the three 

 apical joints of antennai white, the labrum, apex of clypeus, inner 

 orbits of the eyes, a transverse mark on vertex, edge of pronotuni, 

 tegulse, posterior parapsides, scutellum, a line on the pleura? and legs 

 sordid white ; the coxa? black at the base, posterior tarsi and the femora 

 nearly all blackish-fuscous ; abdomen livid red in the middle and on 

 the belly at the apical portion of the segments. Stigma fuscous, pale 

 at the base. 



Length nearly four lines. 



Seemingly rare. I have taken in July two males at 

 Gadder Wilderness. 



It occurs in Scandinavia, Germany, Holland, Bel- 

 gium, and France, but seems to be rare everywhere.
