autumn, and spin in the earth cocoons of silk mixed 

 with grains of sand. The images appear at the end 

 of June. 



The only locality I know of is Gloucester, where the 

 Iarva3 were found by Mr. Allan Harker, who obligingly 

 sent them to me.

Antennae, head and thorax black; mouth white; tegulse, pro thorax 

 and abdomen reddish-yellow. Legs pale reddish- testaceous, paler at 

 the base ; the apex of the tibiae and the joints of the tarsi annulated 

 with black; apex of sheath black. Wings yellowish-hyaline, costa luteous 

 at base, the rest of it with the stigma black. $ and $. 



Length 2| 3 lines. 



The pleurse and sternum are frequently marked to a 

 greater or less extent with yellow patches. There may 

 be only a small yellow spot on either the one or the 

 other of these parts, or both may be almost entirely 

 yellow, the black being visible only in obscure splashes. 

 With this light-coloured form the under surface of the 

 antennae is generally yellowish, so that it has a general 

 resemblance to A. glabricollis. 



With the dark form the anterior legs have the black 

 annulations very distinct, but all gradiations are found 



* In the Linnean Collection Rosce is represented by ancilla and 

 spinarum, Rosce auct. not being in the collection at all. As a whole, the 

 Linnean description agrees best with ancilla.
