HYLOTOMA ENODIS. 51 



are five pairs of short ventral legs. Spiracles black, 

 white in the centre. It pupates in the earth. It is 

 found feeding from July to September. 



Apparently not common. I have only seen two speci- 

 mens, probably from the South of England. 



Continental distribution : Sweden, Germany, France, 

 Italy.

Violet-black ; antennae, tibiae, and tarsi, bluish-black. The head is 

 well developed behind the eyes ; the front is broad, there is no carina, 

 but the face over the clypeus is produced into a blunt ridge. The 

 clypeus is scarcely emarginated. Wings violaceous, the apex lighter 

 tinted ; the third transverse cubital nervure is bent outwardly but not 

 sharply nor obliquely ; the third cubital cellule is a little shorter than 

 the second and not much wider on upper than on lower side. Trans- 

 verse median nervure received almost in the middle of cellule. In the 

 hind wings the recurrent nervure is received a very little beyond the 

 middle. The accessory nervure is appendiculated considerably beyond 

 the middle. 



Length 4J lines. 



The wings in this species are lighter coloured than in 

 coeruleipennis, the dark violaceous tint, as a rule, only 

 extending to the middle of the wings, while the posterior 

 wings want it almost entirely. It is easily known from 

 it otherwise by the curved third transverse cubital ner- 

 vure, longer third cubital cellule, by the recurrent ner- 

 vure in the hind wings being received nearer the middle 

 of the cellule, and by the accessory nervure being 

 appendiculated farther from the middle. The head is
