144 TENTHREDO SOL1TARIA. 



Tenthredo LIV1DA (Vol. I, p. 75). 



B risclike (1. c, 115) gives as the food plants of this 

 species Viburnum opulus, Rosa, Salix caprea, Gorylus 

 avellana, Sorbus aucuparia, and Pteris aquilina ; Loni- 

 cera, the food plant given by Kaltenbach, not being 

 mentioned. 



Brischke describes the larva as being light grey, the 

 back light brown running into green or even olive- 

 green through being mottled by darker streaks and 

 spots ; it is transversely wrinkled, the dorsal vessel 

 darker. On each segment are oblique stripes pointing 

 posteriorly, joined by another stripe from the opposite 

 direction; each segment has two transverse rows of 

 warts, there being also warts in the lateral folds over 

 the legs. These folds bear upon each segment two 

 brown spots placed obliquely, and under these is another 

 single spot. Head shining, shortly haired, and orange- 

 yellow, the eye spots black. 



At the last moult the larva becomes shining yellow, 

 with black dorsal streak, from which runs obliquely a 

 similarly coloured stripe. As usual it is quite smooth. 



Tenthredo punctula, Kl., is not the c? of livida, but 

 is a distinct species (cf. Stein, W. E. Z., 1884, 309). 



Tenthredo coryli (Vol. I, p. 77). 



T. biguttata is not the <J of this species, but T. 

 intermedia , Klug. 



Tenthredo solitarta (Vol. I, p. 79). 



Brischke describes the larva (1. c, 116, pi. viii, fig. 4) 

 as feeding on Sorbus aucuparia. It is 25 mm. long, 

 greyish-brown ; the back is broadly dark brown, with 

 a still darker dorsal vessel, from which runs backward 

 obliquely a stripe on each segment. Each segment
