160 ALLANTUS TENULUS. 



thredo bicincta, Fab. (Syst. Piez., 29, 3), and hence 

 our species must be called Allantus bicinctus, Fab. 



Kirby (List of Hymen., i, p. 238) adopts the name 

 of vlrgata, Fourc. (Ent. Par. ii 3 p. 367, 12), for bicincta, 

 Fab., as an earlier name, quoting cingulum, Kl., as a 

 synonym, as also 4-cinctus, Thorns. ; and states that 

 the species appears in Stephens' Collection as A. zonula. 

 The reference to 4-cinctus, Thorns., is an error. Ac- 

 cording to Kirby (1. c, p. 241), Stephens' type of A. 

 fasciatus, Scop., = zonula, Kl., is A. cingulum. 



According, then, to Kirby, A. fasciatus, Scop. (Ent. 

 Cam., 278), is British, and not having a specimen for 

 description, I reproduce Klug's. The base of the an- 

 tennae, clypeus, labrum, mandibles, palpi, the edge of 

 the pronotum and tegulas, the basal segment of abdo- 

 men above, the fifth segmeut entirely, and the eighth 

 and ninth above, yellow. Legs yellow ; the coxse, the 

 outer side of middle and the hinder femora, the apices 

 of the tarsal joints, especially on the hinder, blackish. 

 Spurs black. Wings hyaline ; the nervures brown, the 

 apical nervures paler. Stigma yellow, brownish at the 

 apex. 



Length 8 — 9 mm. 



It has the head and mesonotum smooth, shining:.

Allantus tbnulus (Yol. I, p. 153). 



For " tenulus " read " temulus." It has been pointed 

 out by Rogenhofer and von Dalla Torre* that the 

 Ten thredo temula, Scop., is identical, not with Allantus 

 Bossii, Pz., but with Tenthredo bicincta, Linne, nee 

 Fab. ; and, as temulus has priority by three years over 

 bicincta, the former name must be adopted. 



For the Allantus temulus of this work the name of 

 Bossii, Pz., must be used.
