ginate ; labrum rounded ; chjpeiis deeply notched : head broadj produced 

 between the antennae : eyes a little prominent : ocelli 3 : luings rather short; 

 anterior with 2 marginal areolets, divided by a straight ncrvure, and 3 sub- 

 marginal ones, the 1st small, somewhat rounded; 2nd longest, and narrow, 

 receiving 3 recurrent nervures ; 3rd broad, extending to the apex of the 

 wing : abdomen rather short and stout, depressed and obtuse in the males, 

 somewhat carinated and acute in the females; colours generally bright ; 

 legs simple, short ; posterior tibicB with a pair of spurs at the apex only. 

 The same remark, as to the relative proportion of the 3rd and 

 4th joints of the antennae, will apply to one or two of the species of 

 this genus and of Dolerus, but like the two foregoing there is consi- 

 derable diversity of habit between the respective insects, the Dosythei 

 invariably having the middle of the abdomen red, contrasted with 

 black, whereas the Doleri have that part entirely black, and the sexes 

 are scarcely dissimilar to each other, as in Dosytheus. I shall there- 

 fore follow Leach in considering them distinct, a consideration borne 

 out by a slight modification of the trophi in the two genera.

Head and thorax finely punctured, the former black, and the last red in the 

 female^ but black in the male ; abdomen red, with the basal segment, and 

 a spot on the 8th, black ; anterior legs dull testaceous, with the tarsi 

 dusky; posterior black, with the tibiae pale luteous ; wings somewhat 

 blackish, or deep fuscous, with the nervures and costa black. 

 Taken at Darenth wood, and at Coombe, in June and July, but 



not common.
