 front view of a whole head of a specimen bred by me from A. trimmerana 

 and preserved in alcohol. A female Stylops taken from A. hucephala 

 mav well be identical with that of trimmerana, and that which occurs in 

 sj)inif/( ru is likely to prove the same. 



9. — >S'. dalii Curtis. 



The description of Curtis, quoted in Pierce's work, is not sufficient 

 for the identification of this species, but no doubt it is distinct from any 

 of the preceding. The female cephalothorax is wide across the spiracles, 

 being about 1"3-1'4 mm. at that point. I have only examined a single 

 specimen and that from an A. lahialis taken many years ago, for I liave 

 not recently met with stylopized examples. Consequently, the follow^ing 

 characters may prove variable or even not quite correct. The basal dark 

 hand is stiuightly edged in front or only slightly curved and is followed 

 by a narrow pale one, in front of which is a very faint, smok}', wide band 

 not reachin<j: the sides of the thorax, the front marsjin of this band havins; 

 two darker streaks, one on each side of the middle, each of these enclosing 

 a small pale spot. The width as given above is about 8 times as great 

 as the distance between the mandibles. 



10.— >S'. analis, sp. n. 



Tlie only sj^ecimens I have seen of this Stt/Iojjs are two $ $ taken 

 in the New Forest by A. H. Hamm. One of these I have extracted, 

 and it certainly appeal's to be distinct from any described form, the 

 width of the thorax at the spiracles being about 1 mm., or about 

 8-9 times as great as the width of the head between the mandibles. 

 The length from the hind margin of the spiracle to the mitldle of the 

 front margin of the head is '7 mm. Owing to its old (triungulin- 

 producing) condition its colour is uncertain, but it appears to be broadly 

 darker along the sides of the thorax and more yellow between this, the 

 basal black band hardly reaching the line of the spiracles. 



11. — S. sjyreta, sp. n. 



I have examined a number of examples of the $ of this species, 

 which is certainly distinct from the othei's by its minute size, the width 

 at the spiracles being about 7 mm. only, or 6-7 times as wide as the 

 mandibular space. There is a basal smoky-black band, somewhat variable 

 even in examples taken from the same individual of the host, its front 

 margin being cither straight or slightly curved, or sometimes extended
