DINEURA DESPECTA. 19 



(except at knees), the apical half of the posterior tibiae and the posterior 

 tarsi, black, the four anterior faintly fuscous. $ . 

 Length nearly 2 lines. 



Besides the differences in the position of the 

 nervures selandriiformis is distinguished from verna 

 by the first transverse cubital nervure being absent, 

 the costa and stigma are fuscous, the antennae are 

 longer and thicker, the body less downy, the femora 

 have more black, and the apical half of posterior tibias 

 and the tarsi are black. 



Taken in England by the Rev. T. A. Marshall. 

 Possibly it is only a variety of verna.

Black; head covered with fine, close pubescence, vertex finely 

 punctured ; legs testaceous, the base of coxss and the greater part of 

 femora black ; apex of abdomen above obscure brownish ; mandibles 

 piceous. Wings scarcely hyaline, with a faint brownish tinge ; nervures, 

 costa and stigma testaceous ; tegulaa obscure testaceous ; the trans- 

 verse radial nervure is received a little in front of the third transverse 

 cubital nervure ; the second recurrent nervure is almost interstitial ; 

 the second cubital cellule is much longer than third, and has a horny 

 point in apical half. The antennae are longer than the abdomen, filiform ; 

 the third joint longer than fourth, the rest become gradually (and 

 distinctly) shorter. The blotch is very broad, occupying three-fourths 

 of the breadth of segment. 



Length 2 lines. 



The larva mines the leaves of Ranunculus repens in 



* Under the name of fuscula.
