246 ALLOTEIA DOLICEOCEEA. 



12. ALLOTEIA ANCYLOCEEA. 

 PI. XVI, fig. 7. 



Allotria ancylocera, Cam., Fauna, 85, 8. 



Black ; the head below the eyes piceous-red ; the antennae fuscous ; 

 joints two to four pallid-testaceous ; legs fuscous-testaceous; the COXSB 

 and femora much darker; the anterior four femora lighter coloured 

 than the posterior at the sides, but lined with black above and 

 beneath. Wings hyaline, nervnres testaceous. Antennse longer than 

 the body ; the third joint a little shorter than the fourth, slightly 

 curved, the fourth and fifth deeply curved ; the apical joint shorter 

 a little than penultimate. Radial cellule of moderate length ; the curved 

 apical abscissa of radius scarcely twice the length of oblique basal part ; 

 the cubitus extends a little beyond the middle of the wings. $. 



Length scarcely 1*5 mm. 



Agrees in general form and coloration with A. 

 longicornis, but is smaller ; the antennae are scarcely so 

 long, and with joints three to five thicker and distinctly 

 curved ; the radial cellule shorter, and with the apical 

 abscissa longer in proportion to basal. A. curvicornis 

 may be known from it by the antennae issuing from 

 distinct tubercles and distinctly longer, the fourth and 

 fifth more twisted, the radial cellule shorter and 

 wider, and the cubitus shorter. 



Rare. Carruber Glen, Linlithgowshire, August 14th. 



13. ALLOTEIA DOLICHOCEEA.

Allotria dolichocera, Cam., Mem. Lit. and Phil. Soc. Man. (4), 

 ii, 56. 



Black ; the mouth, the base of the antennae (joints one to four), and 

 legs pallid testaceous, castaneous or infuscated broadly in the middle ; 

 wings hyaline, the nervures fuscous. Antennse longer than the body, 

 very slightly thickened towards the middle; the third and fourth joints 

 subequal, a little longer than the second ; the last joint fully one-half 

 longer than the penultimate. Radial cellule wide, the second abscissa 

 fully one and a half times the length of the second, almost straight. 



Length f mm. 



What is probably the $ has the antennae filiform, 

 one-fourth longer than the body; the third joint 

 curved : the base of the abdomen rufous.
