ALLANTDS MARGINELLUS. 145 



nervure is received a little beyond the middle of the third cubital 

 cellule ? . 



Length 4 4 lines. 



Almost similar in body coloration to A. zona, Klug, 

 but differing in the roughly punctured head and thorax, 

 the wider yellow line on thorax, and red posterior 

 tarsi and apex of tibise. From marginellus it may be 

 known by the yellow labrum and tegulae, half white, 

 half fuscous stigma, black scutellum, and by the fourth 

 abdominal segment wanting the yellow ring found in 

 marginellus (and -c.mctus). It also wants the yellow 

 spot over the posterior coxae found in 3~cindus and 

 via/rginellus. 



Seemingly rare. I have seen two individuals one 

 taken by the late F. Smith, and another in Shuckard's 

 collection, both probably from the South of England. 



Continental distribution : Sweden, France.
