194 CHARACTERS OF SOME UNDESCRIBED 



ocelli 2, placed in the angles of the cavities formed by the X : 

 thorax transverse, anterior margin convex, posterior slightly con- 

 cave, the angles truncated : scutellum trigonate, slightly cuspi- 

 date : superior wings very much deflexed, the costa very convex, 

 the suture straight, nervures raised : inferior wings very small : 

 posterior tibiae with a few external spines, ciliated internally 

 towards the apex. 



•^ '1. Bipunctatus. Curt. 



Dirty ochre, face and thorax spotted with pale brown, 2 blackish spots 

 on the crown of the head : scutellum with 2 spots at the base, the 

 tip, and a sub-rhomboidal one in the centre, black: superior wings 

 variegated with brown, the spots largest and darkest on the disc, 

 with 2 on the suture: thighs spotted with brown. (Length \\ 

 line.) .^ 



This genus most resembles Fallen's Ulopa ; but it is totally 

 difFei-ent/to any other group ; it is not improbable that Fa- 

 bricius s^C. reticulatus, belongs to this genus. I found the 

 specimens under stones in the Isle of Portland, in June ; and 

 if I be not mistaken, they w^ere much handsomer when alive. 



^ Gen. 1058. — Phrynomorphus. Curt. 



Oblong, smooth and shining ; head crescent-shaped above, the fore- 

 head slightly angulated, face very broad, subcordate or scutiform : 

 antennae short, inserted in a cavity before the eyes, triarticulate, 

 2 first joints sub-ovate, 3d forming rather a short and stout seta : 

 eyes projecting, subconical : ocelli 2, very remote and minute, 

 placed on the margin of the forehead : thorax transverse : scu- 

 tellum rather small and trigonate : superior wings obtusely 

 rounded, the nervures very obscure ; inferior ample : abdomen 

 short : hinder legs very long, especially the tibiae, which are com- 

 pressed, and slightly curved, thickly set with spines externally,

% 1. Nitidus. Curt. 



Black, shining, head with three ochreous spots at the base, edge 

 of the clypeus, 2 lines at the apex, one under each eye, and 

 a dot above the antennae ochreous, centre of the face transversely

 with ochre, the superior wings fuscous, freckled with ochre : thighs, 

 and spines of tibiae, variegated with ochre, (Length U line. 

 I have seen but one specimen of this distinct insect, which 



I took many years back, I believe, in Norfolk.
