184 DOLICHOPIDjE. 



inside, in the female slightly produced in a point at the tip. In the 

 male it forms an obtuse lobe there, and has besides a long bifid tooth 

 inside above the middle ; the intermediate legs have the tibia towards 

 the tip pectinated in front, and fringed with long curly hairs behind, 

 the metatarsus also pectinated beneath ; the tip of the hind coxae and 

 trochanters is a little prickly ; the hind femora have the pubescence at 

 the base above inverted, the spines in front more thickly set about the 

 middle ; the hind tibiae have two spines inside above the middle, but 

 none on the outside. 



Not rare on the long grass in woods. (E. S. I.) 



The rest have the typical character more complete, the last 

 species alone differing in any material respect.
