GENUS GLAUBASPIDIA. 213 



3. Antennal club six-jointed (= Hexaplasta). 



21. EUCOELA HEXATOMA. 



PL XI, figs. 6, 7. 



Cothonaspis hexatoma, Htg., Germ. Zeit., iii, 357. 



Black, shining ; the nagellum fuscous-black ; the legs reddish-testa- 

 ceous ; the coxae and femora above and beneath towards the base, black ; 

 wings hyaline, the nervures fuscous. Pronotum and metapleurse with 

 distinct whitish pubescence. Antennae longer than the abdomen; the 

 third joint one-half longer than the fourth ; the 6-jointed club not 

 very abrupt, the last joint about one-fourth longer than the penultimate. 

 Scutellum aciculated, the cup minute. Abdomen nearly as long as 

 the head and thorax united; the hair-fringe dense, griseous-white. 

 Wings longish ; the first abscissa of radius a little more than half the 

 length of the second ; the third a little longer than the first and second 

 united. 



The (J has the antennas much longer than the body ; the third joint 

 one-half longer than the fourth, thickened and incised, and the basal 

 joints are more or less testaceous. 



Length 1^ mm. 



Rare. Clydesdale, Bonar Bridge. 

 Continental distribution : Germany. 



Genus GLAURASPIDIA. 



Glauraspidia, Thomson, Oef., 401 ; Foerster, Yerh. z.-b. Ges. 



Wien, x, 350. 

 Apistophiza, Foerster, 1. c., 351. 



Wings abbreviated; radial cellule open. Metapleurse and base of 

 abdomen densely covered with woolly hair. Head triangular or oblong- 

 triangular. Antennae with or without a club ; the third joint distinctly 

 longer than fourth or hardly so. 



The abbreviated wings and the dense mass of hair on 

 the metapleurse make this genus well-marked. Apisto- 

 phiza differs from Glauraspidia (see Foerster) in the third 

 antennal joint being clearly longer than the fourth, and 

 in the radial area being distinct.
