184 .EGILIPS SUBULIFERA. 



6. J^GILIPS FUMIPENNIS. 



PI. VII, fig. 1. 



Anacharis fumipennis, Westwood, Mag. of Nat. Hist., 1833, 

 494; Cam., E. M. M., xxiv, 209. 



Black ; the legs testaceous ; mandibles piceous-red, darker at the apex ; 

 petiole and base of abdomen piceous; flagellum of antennae fuscous. 

 Antennae shorter than the body ; thorax densely pilose ; parapsidal furrows 

 shallow, indistinct; scutellar foveae indistinct; scutellum obtuse, rugose ; 

 median segment rugose, tricarinate. Petiole three times longer than 

 broad, striolated, abdomen shining. Wings uniformly smoky, first 

 abscissa of radius three-fourths of the length of the second; nervures 

 fuscous. 



Length 2 '5 mm. 



May be known from rufipes by the thorax being 

 densely pilose, by the scutellum being somewhat 

 shorter, by the longer petiole, and by the smoky wings. 



I only know Westwood' s specimen. 



7. -ZEGILIPS SUBULIFEEA. 



PL VI, fig. 6, <? . 



JEgilips subulifera, Thorns., Oef., xviii, 412, 1. 



Black, semi- shining ; the antennae blackish-fuscous ; the flagellum 

 testaceous beneath ; the legs testaceous or rufo-testaceous, the coxae 

 blackish or fuscous-black ; hind tarsi and tips of the others blackish. 

 Wings hyaline, the nervures fuscous-testaceous. Parapsidal sutures 

 distinct, wide, crenulated ; sides of pro thorax longitudinally aciculated, 

 the base of mesonotum transversely striolated ; scutellum conical, 

 rugose, ending in a stout, obtuse spine, which is also rugose ; scutellar 

 foveae indistinct, shallow, finely striated. Median segment rugose. 

 Petiole finely rugose, longer than broad. The antennae are a little 

 longer than the body. 



Length 3 mm. 



The only is known to me. Thomson apparently 

 describes the female, and it appears to differ most from 

 the c? in the length of the petiole. As with the other 

 species, the coloration of the legs varies, as does like- 

 wise the punctuation of the thorax. 



Rare. Strath Glass, Inverness-shire, in June. 



Continental distribution : Sweden.
