TYPHLOGYBA SALICICOLA. 148 



Typhlocyba craTxEgi, Doug. Plate LXII., figs. 4 to 4a. 

 Ent. Mo. Mag. xii. 203. 



Tijphlocyha cratcegi, Eclw. pt. ii. p. 100. 



Pale yellow. " A small fuscous spot in the apex of 

 the subcostal and suprabrachial areas." Legs, claws, 

 and abdomen coloured as in the last species. Frons 

 prone, and somewhat convex. 



This species is recorded as "not very common." 

 However, I could have captured thousands of such 

 insects during the month of August on the hawthorn 

 {Gratcegiis oxyacantlius) growing in the public gardens 

 at Great Malvern, Worcestershire. 



Mr. Edwards draws the penis with two laminae at 

 the apex. 



Length of body and wings, 0'12 inch, 3*00 milli- 

 metres. 



Typhlocyba salicicola, Edio. Plate LXXIIL, figs. 

 1 to 1 a. Ent. Mo. Mag. xxi. 230, fig. 2 a (penis). 



I copy Mr. Edwards's short diagnosis for this 

 species : — 



" Somewhat larger and decidedly stouter than 

 T. roscE. Very pale yellowish white. Scutellum tinged 

 with pink, at least in fresh examples. Membrane very 

 faintly fusco-hyaline. On Sallows. Common. 



Length, 0'17 inch, 4*5 millimetres. 



Penis with a tuft of four falcate appendages at the 

 apex." 



The following species are considered to be distinct 

 by Mr. Edwards. They are so similar in form and 

 colour that no advantage will be gained by an attempt 

 to engrave them.
