MONOGRAPHIA iEGERIARUM ANGLIC. t i 



This is another genus, which 1 have ventured to separate 

 from the Bembecia of Hubner, retaining, however, his name, 

 as the only British species referable to it is the one to which 

 that author has assigned the leading or typical situation. 

 Its beardless abdomen is an excellent character, and demon- 

 strates its natural situation to be between the typical JEgeriee 

 and those Phalcence, which are entirely without this peculi- 

 arity.

This insect varies very much in size, and in the colour of 

 the antennae. Mr. Bently has several specimens, which at first 

 sight appear somewhat different ; but, on examination, possess 

 all the distinguishing characters of this species.
