252 BLENNOOAMPA SUBCANA. 



(Mem., ii, 245, 9, t. 35, figs. 1923) andEeaumur (Mem., 

 v, 94, 95, pi. 12, figs. 13, 14), who, however, had not been 

 able to rear it. It is of the usual form, about four lines 

 long, entirely green, with white forked spines. The 

 head is of a darker green with a yellowish tinge ; the 

 eyes black. At the last moult the spines are thrown off, 

 and it becomes of a pale green colour. The pupa state 

 is passed in the earth, the imago emerging in June. 



A common species in June. I have taken it on Ben 

 Clibrich, Sutherlandshire, on Alchemilla alpina. It is 

 widely distributed in England. 



Tegulse and pronotum black ; apex of femora, tibiae and tarsi, 

 white. Antennae longish, the joints clearly separated, third 

 joint longer than fourth. Wings almost hyaline, transverse 

 radial nervure interstitial or nearly so ; third cubital cellule 

 not much longer than second, considerably widened at apex. 

 Clypeus slightly incised; frontal fovese distinct (Species 19 

 and 20).

Black, shining ; knees slightly, and posterior tibia? white ; anterior 

 tibiae white in front, black behind ; apex of posterior tibiae and all the 

 tarsi deep fuscous. Head covered with a grey pile ; clypeus slightly 

 emarginated at apex ; antennae as long as the abdomen, a little attenuate 

 at apex, the joints distinctly separated from each other, and slightly 

 produced at the apex beneath, the third joint a little longer than the 

 fourth, the last longer and thinner than the eighth. Wings clear 

 hyaline, tr. radial nervure interstitial. Tegulae black. Saw largely 



projecting. Cenchri large, clear white. 

 The <$ has the antennae nearly 



as long as the abdomen and half the 



thorax, the joints more distinctly separated than in the $ ; and the 

 tibiae are more or less suffused with fuscous. 

 Length 3 lines. 



Subcana is most nearly related to pusilla, from which 

 it is readily distinguished by its much greater size, 

 stouter form, longer and stouter antennae, the joints 

 being more sharply divided, the more obscure colour of
