6. BUCOELA GLOTTIANA. 



PL IX, fig. 7. 

 Psichacra glottiana, Cam., Trans. Ent. Soc., 1883, 368. 



Black, shining ; apex of coxse, trochanters, base of femora and their 

 apical half, the tibiae and tarsi, reddish. Wings hyaline, the nervures 

 testaceous. The antennae are longer than the 'body; the third and 

 fourth joints are much thinner than the others, the fifth thicker, the 

 rest of nearly equal thickness ; the third is distinctly longer than the 

 fourth ; the fifth shorter than the latter ; the sixth nearly of the same 

 length as the fifth ; the others to the thirteenth shorter, oblong, and 

 covered sparsely with microscopic bristle-like hairs ; the basal joints of 

 the flagellum are somewhat piceous. Scutellar cup oval, rather shallow, 

 a round fovea at its apex ; the foveae at the base of scutelluin moderately 

 large and deep. Below the cup the scutellum is smooth and shining, 

 lower down coarsely punctured. The hair on median segment is mode- 

 rate in length and dull silvery white. Abdomen slightly aciculated on 

 the basal half ; apical half smooth and shining. Radial cellule a little 

 longer than broad ; the margin of the wing deeply fringed ; the cubitus 

 extends beyond the middle. Legs pilose. 



The <J has the antennae about three-fourths longer than the body, 

 the basal joints of flagellum piceous beneath; the third joint a little 

 longer than the fourth and thinner. 



Length nearly 3| mm. 



One female and several males in Clydesdale.

 PL IX, fig. 8. 



Eucoela proxima, Cam., Mem. Lit. and Phil. Soc. Manch. (4),

Black, shining ; the flagellum inclining to fuscous ; the apex of the 

 coxae, trochanters, femora, tibiae, and tarsi rufous; the base of the 

 femora lined with black ; wings clear hyaline, pubescent, ciliated ; the 

 nervures clear testaceous. Antennae nearly as long as the thorax and 

 abdomen united, without a club ; the joints becoming very gradually 

 and slightly thickened towards the apex ; the third joint a little longer 

 than the fourth, which is of the same length as the fifth. Scutellar fovesa 

 longer than broad, deep, truncated at base and apex ; sides of scutellum 

 punctured; the cup depressed at the base; the apex with a shallow 

 fovea ; its apex not projecting much. Metapleurae densely covered with 

 fuscous hair. Abdomen a little longer than the thorax, compressed, 

 lenticular ; the hair-fringe dense, griseous. Radial cellule elongate, the 

 second abscissa curved, fully three-fourths of the length of the third, 

 which is nearly straight; cubitus not extending beyond the radial 

 cellule. 



Length 3 mm.
