Abdomen feminse thorace triple longius segmento ultimo trientem 

 longitudinem occupante ; punctum petiolare pallidum : pedes 

 quam in reliquis longiores valde graciles ; coxae virides, troclian-

 obscuriores : alarum nervi dilute fusci. 



This brilliant species is found on willows (S. Helix et 

 vitellina); the females are fond of basking in umbelliferous 

 flowers in strong sunshine. Among the remaining species 

 none of the females have the last segment so conspicuously 

 elongated as the present, which I regard as the type.

f The joints of the antennae following the pedicel are sometimes abruptly 

 smaller than the rest, and commonly overlooked in the computation of the joints. 

 It is to such that I aj)ply the distinctive epithet anneUL
