BLENNOOAMPA NIGEIPES. 175 



sternum not distinct, transverse basal nervure inter- 

 stitial, claws bifid. Posterior wings with one dis- 

 coidal cellule ; the apical margin in the S with a sur- 

 rounding nervure. Sheath acuminate at apex. 



To this section belong lineolata (i, p. 241) and 

 melanocephala (p. 245). 



Blennooampa lineolata (Yol. I, p. 241). 



Our species is the true lineolata, Klug ; B. pubes- 

 cens, Zad., and B. albipennis, Zad. (which both belong 

 to Perielista), being distinct from this and from one 

 another. 



Pareophora. 



Konow, D. E. Z., 1886, 187. 



Body short, ovate ; eyes oblong, situated at a dis- 

 tance from the base of the mandibles ; antenna? mode- 

 rate, filiform, the third joint distinctly longer than the 

 fourth ; transverse basal nervure joined to cubital ; 

 posterior wings with one discoidal cellule ; claws 

 simple ; sheath blunt at the apex. 



Blennooampa nigripes (Yol. I, p. 246). 



The c? of this species is B. luridiventris, Klug 

 (Berl. Mag., viii, 104), and this name is adopted by 

 Konow ; but inasmuch as nigripes is placed before 

 luridiventris in Klug's paper, and, further, as it is the 

 best known name, I prefer to adopt it. 



The larva of B. nigripes is described and figured by 

 Brischke (1. c, 73, pi. viii, fig. 14). It feeds in July 

 on Prunus spinosa, and is 10 mm. in length, thickened 

 at the thoracic region, and is rather darkish grey in 

 colour and dull in tint ; the eye-spots black. Each
