 basalis. Steph. Nomen. 2d edit. col. 135, var. 



Black : facial orbits and spot on the sides of the clypeus sometimes whitish 

 or reddish ; antennse of the male porrect, 2 basal joints black, following 

 either entirely red, or the 3rd to about the 8th above black, thence to the 

 14th entirely pale red, rest black; of the female incurved, fuscous, the 2 

 basal joints beneath ferruginous, the following 11 mostly red; thorax with 

 a line before and beneath the wings, and the scutellum yellowish-white ; 

 abdomen with the 3 basal segments opaque, the 3rd with a lateral marginal 

 dot or streak, and the remainder with the margins more or less broadly, and 

 sometimes interrupted in the middle, glaucous-white; legs red, coxae and 

 trochanters black, the posterior trochanters red at the tip, and that portion 

 of the hinder tibiae and tarsi black ; wings rather smoky-hyaline ; cellule 

 5-angular. 



Var..? with the scutellum black, the 2 basal joints of the antennae black, the 

 10 following bright fulvous, thorax exteriorly black, abdomen with the 4th 

 to 7th segments very indistinctly margined with glaucous. 

 Also very rare : it has occurred in June at Darenth wood, and in 



July in the New Forest.

Ic. sugillatorius. LinnL— Steph. Catal. 348. No. 4400. 



Black : facial orbits of the male broadly, and frontal ones of the female narrowly 

 white; antennae of the male porrect, with the 12th to 14th joints white 

 above; of the female involuted, a little compressed towards the apex, and 

 with about the 9th to 14th joints white above; thorax with a minute dot or 

 streak before, and another beneath the wings, and the scutellum white ; 

 abdomen rich blue-black, with a more or less distinct round white dot on 

 both sides of the margin of each of the 4 basal segments, sometimes wanting 

 on the 1st and 4th; legs black, the anterior tibiae beneath and tip of the 

 femora dull-whitish, the middle and tarsi fuscescentj wings somewhat 

 smoky-hyaline ; cellule somewhat 5-angular. 

 Very rare, at least in the south of England, but I believe more 



abundant towards the north.
