4-punctata, Oliv. — ^ , six specimens, Gibraltar. 



jmrtita, King. — $ , seven specimens, Gibraltar, and one from Tetuan, Marocco ; 

 this latter having the thorax black, and clothed with silvery-gold liaira ; this variety- 

 holds to partita much the same relationship that the var. tunensis of stridula holds 

 to its type. 



i-maculata, Luc. — one $ , Tetuan, Marocco. 



arenaria, Fab.— three S > sis $ , Gibraltar ; the females varying greatly in size, 

 from about 6 mm. to 12 mm., but none attaining to the large size of those from 

 Eastern Europe. 



maroccana, Oliv. — one ? , Gibraltar. 



brutia, Petagn. — one S , seven ? , Gibraltar, and two 9 > Tetuan, Marocco ; the 

 females varying considerably in size. 



lufftibris, Fab. — 3 , two, Gibraltar. 



Ghilianii, Spin. — $ , one, Gibraltar. 



graca, Lep. — <J, five, Gibraltar and Benzus Bay, Marocco; with tliess Mr. 

 Walker has sent several entirely black males, which appear to me to differ from 

 grcBca only in colour ; the genital armature appears to be alike in both ; I sent a 

 specimen to General Kadoszkowsky, who has kindly helped me with some of my 

 difficulties in this genus, and he rather inclined to think that it was distinct from 

 grcEca. I, however, refrain from describing it at present, and simply note it as 

 grcBca, var. nigra. 



hispanica, Ead. — one d , Gibraltar. 



ciliata, Fabr. — three S , Gibraltar. 



n. sp. ? — $ , one, Gibraltar. This male appears to me to be undescribed, but for 

 a single specimen I hardly like to propose a new name ; its characters are as follows : 

 Head black, shining, strongly punctured, and clothed with long pale hairs ; eyes 

 sinuate ; antennae pitchy-black ; prothorax and mesothorax black ; tegulse pitchy ; 

 scutellum and metathorax red ; prothorax with its posterior margin widely emar- 

 ginate ; the apex of the cmargination obtusely angulated ; mesothorax shining, 

 deeply punctured, with two impressed longitudinal lines, and clothed with a few 

 scattei-ed pale hairs ; metathorax rounded, sub-rugose, centre with an impressed 

 line ; abdomen black, shining, largely punctured ; the 2nd and following segments 

 with an apical fringe of long pale hairs ; Legs black. Allied to rufipes, Fabr. 



Length, 6 mm. 

 Mtrmosa, Latr. 



ephippium, Kossi. — two $ , three ?, Gibraltar, Tangier, and Benzus Bay, 

 Marocco. Jurine, in his " NouvcUe Mc'thode," gives a good figure of the male of 

 this species on pi. ix, fig. 14. 



obscuripes, Tourn. — one <? , two ? , Tangier. Tournier, Ent. Gencv., 2d Liv., p. 

 35, only describes the ? of this species, but I have little doubt that the above ^ is 

 its partner ; it is closely allied to ephippium, Rossi, but is smaller and narrower, and 

 has the head and thorax clothed with scattered long black hairs ; the thorax is 

 distinctly narrower in proportion to its length, and the scutellum is red, like the 

 pro- and mesothorax ; the abdomen also is more shining, and clothed with longer 

 black hairs.
