NEMATUS FUNEItULUS. 69 



12. NEMATUS OBLONGUS. 



Nematus ollongus, Cam., Trans. Ent. Soc., 1882, 539. 



Black; labrum, tegulae, the greater part of upper lobe of pro- 

 notum, and anal segment above, sordid white ; coxae, except base, 

 trochanters, anterior tarsi, and tibiae whitish -yellow, femora reddish- 

 yellow ; apex of posterior tibiae and tarsi black. Antennae thick, as 

 long as aodornen arid metathorax, tapering slightly towards the apex, 

 the joints not clearly separated at the base, more sharply at the apex. 

 Wings hyaline, basal third of costa white, the remainder and stigma 

 fuscous ; first transverse nervure pellucid ; third cubital cellule a little 

 longer than broad, slightly dilated at the apex. Head thick, not 

 dilated behind the eyes, vertical and frontal sutures invisible, penta- 

 gonal area invisible ; clypeus truncated ; head, mesonotum, and upper 

 half of pleurae finely punctured. The spurs not much more than one 

 third the length of metatarsus. 



What is probably the $ has the antennae thick throughout, but 

 tapering towards the apex, pilose, black above, brownish beneath ; cerci 

 and apical segment pallid testaceous, and the femora slightly marked 

 with black above. Otherwise as in ? . 



Length scarcely 2 lines. 



Closely allied to appendiculatus, but is smaller, 

 broader, the antennae thicker and shorter, vertex 

 thicker and sutures invisible or nearly so. It comes 

 very near to qquilegice, Vol., but that species would 

 appear to have the pronotum entirely black, as well as 

 the apex of the abdomen ; the wings are darker in tint ; 

 the antennae in the c? are longer and much more dis- 

 tinctly compressed laterally and not so much thickened. 



An English specimen without note of exact locality. 

 The $ is from Clober, where it was taken on 5th 

 June.
