114 NBMATUS PULOHELLUS. 



In its general coloration strongylog aster closely 

 resembles N. leucogaster, but the antennae are longer 

 in proportion to the length of the body, the eyes are 

 broadly surrounded with brown, the clypeus white; 

 the stigma and costa are similarly coloured, the costa 

 not being paler than the stigma in Hartig's species ; 

 the second recurrent nervure is received much farther 

 from the second transverse cubital, and the abdomen 

 is much shorter. It is also not unlike, at a first 

 glance, some of the darker forms of N. consobrinus, 

 but the abdomen is shorter compared to the head and 

 thorax, and not keeled, nor so sharply pointed at the 

 apex, the costa and stigma are paler, the incision in 

 the clypeus deeper and broader, and antennae longer 

 compared to the body. 



Seemingly not common. I have taken one speci- 

 men in Kilsyth Glen, and another near Cannisburn.

 PI. XX, fig. 5, Saw. 



Nematus pulchellus, Cam., Trans. Ent. Soc., 1882, 537. 



Black, shining, smooth, covered with, close white pubescence ; 

 labrum, clypeus, pronotum broadly, the metapleurae, the sides, apex, 

 and lower side of abdomen with the legs pale yellowish- white, a small 

 fuscous spot on the base of coxae behind. Antennae nearly as long as 

 the body, filiform, covered with microscopic pubescence, the third 

 joint distinctly shorter than the fourth. Frontal area distinct, bluntly 

 rounded at the apical corners, almost oval, the apex very slightly 

 indented by the large, deep, and well-defined antenna! fovea. Front 

 sharply projecting ; clypeus broadly, but not deeply, incised. Spurs as 

 long as the cerci. Posterior tarsi and apex of tibiae infuscated. The 

 blotch is very large. Wings hyaline, costa and stigma yellowish -white ; 

 tegulas yellowish- white ; third cubital cellule much longer than broad, 

 and nearly double the width of the base at the apex. Claws subbifid.

This species appears to agree very closely in colora- 

 tion with N. incompletus, Foerster, but the antennas of 

 that species would seem to be much shorter if I 

 might judge from the description, " Fiihler langer als 

 der Hinterleib." It has also the costa brown, and 

 apparently the metapleuras are black; at least, he
