174 ONYCHIDES. 



The non-margined cheeks and to a less extent the form of the pro- 

 thorax (for the slope is not quite so gradual) allies this genus to Lon- 

 chidia ; but it differs from it in the antennae not being thickened towards 

 the apex, in the opaque head and thorax, in there being no fovese at 

 the base of the scutellum, in the much more elongated cellule, and in 

 the obsolete cubitus. 



1. ANOLYTUS EUFIPES. 

 Plate VII, fig. 7. 



Anolytus rufipes, Foerster, 1. c. 



Homolaspis biusta, Cam., Trans. Ent. Soc., 1879, 112. 



Black, the basal five joints of the antennse and legs clear red, the 

 68 joints of antennse fuscous, the base and sides of abdomen 

 brownish-red; pleurae suffused with red; wings hyaline, nervures fus- 

 cous. Head and thorax opaque, alutaceous, covered with a depressed 

 microscopical pile ; abdomen shining, impunctate, the apical segments 

 faintly pilose. 



Petiole double longer than wide, obliquely keeled, the base longitudi- 

 nally striolated ; base of second segment covered with longish white hair 

 .and one third of the length of the second; the fourth and succeeding 

 segments visible, the fourth double the length of the fifth. Legs stout, 

 ,the COX83 punctured, covered with white hair ; tips of tarsi black. First 

 abscissa of radius half the length of the second; areolet obsolete. 

 Antennae double the length of the thorax, filiform. 



Length 2 m.m. 



Rare. Probably south of England. In collection of 

 the Rev. T. A. Marshall. 



ONYCHIDES. 



Second abdominal segment not half the length of the abdomen, the 

 third much longer than the succeeding united ; the second segment 

 above produced into a tongue-shaped process; petiole short. Meso- 

 notum with two or more furrows; scutellum bifoveated at the base. 

 Radial cellule open in front. Antennae filiform, the third joint sinuated 

 in the ^. 



In the second segment not being half the length of 

 the abdomen this group agrees with the Figitides and 

 Anacharides ; from the former it differs in the second 

 abdominal segment being produced into a tongue- 

 shaped process, and from the latter in the abdomen 

 not being petiolated.
