A distinct species. Is perhaps not a true Eriocampa. 

 In the latter the clypeus is deeply incised, the transverse 

 basal nervure is received quite close to the base of the 

 radial nervure, while in the present species it is much more 

 widely removed from it, and the clypeus is transverse at 

 at the apex. 



Obs. I described {Trans. Ent. Soc. 1876, p. 461) a Monophadnus bengalensis 

 from Bengal which Mr. Kirby {List of Hymen, i., p. 185) states is an 

 Eriocampa. If so, his figure {//. viii. /. 17) is wrongly drawn, for the fore- 

 wing is that of a Monophadnus, not of an Eriocampa. On the same plate 

 {fig. 9) Mr. Kirby figures a Monophadmis liiieatus, from Hudson's Bay, 

 which is certainly an Eriocampa, if the figure is correct. 



Eriocampa major, sp. nov. 

 Long. 13 mm. 



Agrees in coloration with E. punctata, but may readily 

 be separated from it by the head not being narrowed 

 behind the eyes, by its being behind almost transverse, 

 not distinctly concave, and by the eyes not converging so 

 much below. 



Head rugosely punctured, thickly covered with short, 

 white hair on the vertex, with longer hair on the face 

 and clypeus. The vertex behind the ocelli raised and 

 separated from the sides ; its centre with a fine, longi- 

 tudinal keel. Clypeus projecting ; its apex bluntly 

 rounded ; the labrum smooth, brownish, thickly covered 

 with long, pale hair ; the palpi are fuscous. Behind the 

 eyes the head is rounded, but not narrowed ; it is there 

 nearly as long as the eyes. Mesonotum closely punctured, 

 thickly covered with short, white hair ; the middle lobe is 

 more shining than the lateral, and finely furrowed down the 

 middle. Scutellum rounded ; its basal half smooth, very 

 shining, with hardly any punctures; its apical half rugosely 

 punctured, opaque, and covered with long, pale hair. 

 Metanotum rugosely punctured ; the cenchri cream-
