84 NEMATUS LUCIDTJS. 



Cceruleocarpus I have never taken in Scotland, but it 

 seems to be tolerably common in England. Worcester. 



On the Continent it is found in Sweden, Holland, 

 the Harz Mountains, and in France. 



A variety (palliditarsis, Cam.) with the hinder legs 

 quite pale, the stigma testaceous, and the body more 

 densely pilose, has been taken in Spitzbergen by the 

 Rev. A. E. Eaton (Proc. Nat. Hist. Glas., ii, 313). 



VII. THE G-ROUP OF LUCIDUS. 



Pronotum and base of abdomen reddish. Abdomen 

 long, narrowing considerably from fifth segment towards 

 the apex, cerci long. Head with a deep depression 

 behind the ocelli, so that there seems to be a ridge round 

 the bade of the head, which is narrowed in the centre. 

 Front largely projecting, antennal fovea very deep and 

 conspicuous, and open above, thus y. Pentagonal area 

 distinct, clypeus slightly and roundly incised; antennae 

 long, filiform, the joints truncated and produced at the 

 apex beneath, the third and fourth joints equal in ? , 

 the third shorter than fourth in $ , which has the antennce 

 densely pilose. Wings with the second cubital cellule 

 long, the third small, not much longer than broad. Hind 

 tibice thickened and grooved; metatarsus thickened. 

 Breast opaque, punctured. 



The red colour on the body enables this species to 

 be distinguished from the other Nemati except those 

 of the Erichsoni- group, and these again differ from it 

 in the coloration of the legs. In general structure it 

 conies nearest to crassus and rufescens.
