(Revision of, and additions to, the Aphrophoride and Ulopide). 
BY JOHN SCOTT. 
(Concluded from page 243: Ptyelus campestris.) 
Somewhat larger than P. exclamationis, from which species it can 
at once be distinguished by the two white spots, and with which it may 
be mixed up in collections, as I have already eliminated it in one or 
two instances. 
My attention was first drawn to this insect by a specimen sent to 
me by Mr. Dale, and taken by him at Glanville’s Wootton, in October 
last ; and I have since recognised it in my own collection and that of 
Mr. Douglas It has been taken by sweeping at Eltham, Leatherhead 
Common, and Southampton Common, in August and September.

black, SX, shaped streak; the inner margin of the diagonal arm is in a line
