ALLANTUS FLAV1PES. 147 



the tarsi are marked with black, while the abdominal 

 bands do not go all round, but only on the back and 

 sides. The wings, too, are infuscated at the apex, 

 and the stigma is almost unicolorous, while the radial 

 nervure is received near the middle of the third 

 cubital cellule, instead of close to the third transverse 

 cubital nervure, as in cinyidum. 



According to Dours (Cat. Syn., 20), the larva feeds 

 on Umbelliferce. 



Marginellus appears to be somewhat rare in this 

 country. Mr. Smith tells me that it is found in the 

 London district. Stephens gives Coombe Wood and 

 Norfolk as localities, Mr. Dale records it from 

 Glanvilles' Wootton and Whittlesea Mere, and Mr. 

 Bignall sends it from Plymouth. 



Continental distribution: Sweden, Germany, Switzer* 

 land, Italy, Russia.
