264 GENUS HARPIPHORUS. 



Very rare. Dairy. Galloway. Dr. Sharp. Hartig 

 says it appears on Prunus spinosa. 



Continental distribution : Scandinavia, Germany, 

 France, Tyrol. 



Genus HAEPIPHORUS. 



Harpiphorusj Htg., Blattw., 253. 



Wings with two radial and three cubital cellules ; the first and second 

 of the latter receiving each a recurrent nervure. Lanceolate cellule 

 with an oblique cross nervure. Hind wings with only the recurrent 

 nervure present. Antennae filiform, nine-jointed ; the second joint 

 longer than the first; the third not much longer than the fourth ; the 

 three last abruptly shorter than the preceding. Legs moderately long ; 

 claws bifid. Clypeus slightly incised. The basal nervure is joined to 

 the cubital, a little piece from its origin, and runs parallel with the 

 transverse cubital ; the transverse median nervure is received a little 

 piece up from the middle of the cellule ; the accessory is appendiculated 

 in hind wing. The subcostal cellule is large. The head has the cheeks 

 bordered, the sutures on the vertex distinct, and there are three oval 

 fovese above the antennae. Mandibles short and bifid at the apex. The 

 eyes do not reach to the base of the mandibles. 



The body is small, glabrous and shining. Except 

 in having one discoidal cellule in posterior wings, 

 Harpipkorus does not exhibit any tangible differences 

 from Emphytus as a whole. In body- form and in the 

 structure of the antennas, it approaches Hoplocampa. 

 The genus Aneugmenus, Htg.* (type Tenthredo coronatus, 

 Klug), differs from Harpiphorus in having no oblique 

 cross nervure in lanceolate cellule, and in having two 

 discoidal cellules in the posterior wings. Aneugmenus, 

 however, I suspect must be referred to Selandria, some 

 of the species of which have the first transverse cubital 

 nervure pellucid or entirely absent, e.g., 8. temporalis 

 (which agrees not badly with the description of 

 Coronatus) and E. morio. 



Six European species have been referred to Harpi- 

 phorus, but one or two belong in all probability to 

 Poecilosoma, e.g. H. vernalis, of which one or two of 



* Stephens records Aneugmenus coronatus from Dover and Daienth, 

 but in error, for no such species (supposing the species to be Bother 

 than a Selandria} exists in his collection.
