214 EUURA SALICETI. 



C. angusta of Zaddach. The species compared with E. 

 nigritarsis has the abdomen longer in proportion to the 

 head and thorax, the body generally is not so broad, the 

 antenna3 are, if anything, shorter and lighter coloured 

 beneath, the legs have a much more testaceous or 

 brownish tinge. The hind tarsi are not black but 

 brownish, the cerci are testaceous, and the anal 

 segment brownish. In one specimen the labrum is 

 piceous. 



The imago has been often bred from the twigs of 

 willows, and no doubt the larva is of similar habits to 

 N. saliceti, or may form galls in the leaf-stalks like E. 

 Iceta. 



Not common, but widely distributed. 



Continental distribution : Sweden, Germany, France, 

 Holland.

 mandibles, the greater part of the space between the antennae, 

 tegulse, and legs, whitish-testaceous; more or less of the inner and 

 outer orbits, the apex of abdomen and cerci brownish, base of coxae, a 

 longer or shorter line on the femora, black ; the apex of hind tibiae and 

 tarsi obscure fuscous or brownish ; the greater part of the flagellum 

 reddish beneath, the apex being sometimes entirely of this colour. 

 Wings hyaline ; costa and stigma fuscous, the latter white at the base. 



The < nas the antennas entirely fuscous (these are also darker in tint 

 than in the $ ) ; the flagellum is almost wholly red, the white on the
