BLENNOCAMPA OINEREIPES. 249 



This seems to be a southern species. It is not un- 

 common, according to Stephens, in the London dis- 

 tricts. I have taken it in Gloucestershire. 



Continental distribution : Sweden, Germany, Hol- 

 land, France, Italy, Russia. 



Accessory nervure in hind wings received in apical third of 

 cellule ; second cubital cellule with a large black horny point. 

 Pentagonal area indistinct. Clypeus truncated (Species 15).

Deep black, shining, very slightly pubescent; knees and anterior 

 tibia) in front brownish-testaceous ; mandibles piceous. Wings faintly 

 fuscous. Antennae a little longer than the head and thorax, thickened 

 towards the apex ; the third joint is a little longer than the fourth. In 

 front of the scutellum are two deep punctures. 



Length 4 lines. 



The less pilose body and more uniformly- coloured 

 wings readily separate this species from nigrita, while 

 the piceous mandibles and a large, conspicuous, oblong 

 horny point in the second cubital cellule form also 

 distinguishing characteristics. 



I believe this is not a common species in the north, 

 but is tolerably abundant in the south. 



Continental distribution: Sweden, Germany, Hol- 

 land, France, Hungary.
