mention that I have (^ Trlmmerana with the ordinary brown-haired 

 face, which have a distinct spine on the cheeks clearly visible to the 

 naked eye, and moreover, one of my specimens of roses has them 

 equally distinct. It therefore seems certain that Trimmerann and 

 ros(B are merely first and second broods of one species ; the second 

 brood only appearing in certain localities, and perhaps certain seasons. 

 As an instance of a second brood appearing in a more southern 

 locality, I may mention that in 18S6 on the South Coast Nomnda suc- 

 cincta, Pz., emerged in thousands in August ; while neither in that 

 season nor in any other has a second brood appeared here in North 

 Wilts ; the effect of hot seasons in producing an abnormal second 

 brood is well known, several species of Andrena and Nomnda alternata, 

 Kirb., being most commonly affected.

I detected a fine female of this species among some ichneumons 

 sent to me to be named by the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, of Gruestling, 

 and who very kindly gave me the specimen. 



Ratzeburg's description of this, and his other new species of 

 Glypta, having the scutellum and thorax marked with yellow, are not 

 so clear as they might have been ; both species are very different from 

 the common G. flavoUneata, G., and may easily be distinguished as 

 follows : — 



Middle segments of ahdomen subquadrate flavolineata. 



„ „ „ „ distinctly longer than wide ..e»a«e*cen«. 



„ transverse cicatricosa.

Mr. E. A. Atmore gave me both sexes of this species, which he 

 bred from Antithesia caprceana. 



The female is veiy like the male, but the scape beneath is not 

 yellow, and all the coxae and trochanters are red, the aculeus is almost 

 as long as the abdomen, in both sexes the face and clypeus are pubes- 

 cent, the second and third segments of the abdomen are subquadrate.
