Aglenes brunneus. This little beetle, remarkable for having no 

 eyes, is not uncommon near London, and at Aix-la-Chapelle it was 

 given to me by M. Foerster, in whose work on Chalcidites (Mono- 

 graphic der Pteromalinen) there are the following synonyms : —

 low at the base : wings slightly tinged with brown ; squamulae ful- 

 vous ; nervures brown. Length of the body 1£ line ; of the wings
