^GILIPS RTJFTPES. 183 



rugose median segment, in the reddish-coloured legs, 

 and by the radial cellule being shorter. 

 Probably from the London district. 



5. ^GILIPS RUFIPES. 

 PI. VI, fig. 7, ? . 



Anacharis rufipes, Westwood, Mag. of Nat. Hist., 1833, 494. 

 ^gilips Dalmani, Reinh., B. E. Z., iv, 220, 3 ; Thorns., Oef., 

 xviii, 412, 3. 



rugicollis, Reinh., 1. c., 220, 2 ; pi. iv, f. 3. 



rufipes, Cam., Ent. M. Mag., xxiv, 209. 



Black, shining ; the legs and tegula? ferruginous, the anterior with a 

 more yellowish tinge, the coxae black, the tips of anterior tarsi, the 

 whole of posterior apex of hind tibiae and sometimes the hind trochan- 

 ters, blackish ; wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous ; the antennsB 

 fuscous or blackish, usually testaceous or even reddish beneath, wholly 

 or in the middle only. Parapsidal sutures distinct at base, but not very 

 deep, towards the apex becoming indistinct, obscurely crenulated; 

 scutellum conical, rugose, the basal fovea3 distinct, deep, shining ; pro- 

 thorax laterally more or less punctured, almost rugose on lower side ; 

 mesonotum, especially towards the base, more or less finely striated or 

 aciculated, in some specimens distinctly transverse striolated on the 

 basal half. Petiole scarcely so long as broad, rugose. 



The $ is similar, but with the petiole longer. 



Length 2 2 mm. 



The punctuation on the thorax (especially on the 

 pronotum and mesonotum) varies considerably in in- 

 tensity. The coloration of the legs varies also, some 

 specimens having them (especially the four anterior) 

 clear testaceous-yellow, while others have them all dark 

 ferruginous, suffused with fuscous. 



M. rugicollis, Reinhard, differs from rufipes (as de- 

 fined by Reinhard) in having the parapsidal sutures dis- 

 tinct and crenulated, the propleurse rugose, and the legs 

 fuscous-ferruginous ; rufipes having the parapsidal fur- 

 rows " parum impressis," the pleura3 " subpunctatis," 

 and the legs ferruginous. The specimens in my col- 

 lection, however, show so much variation in all these 

 respects that I can only look upon M. rugicollis as a 

 variety of rufipes. 



Commonly distributed.
