176 BLENNOOAMPA BIPUNOTATA. 



segment bears two rows of white cleft spines, there 

 being eight longitudinal rows of these, while the first 

 and last segments have longer simple spines, these 

 spines being sharply differentiated from the darker 

 ground colour. The small shining head is shortly 

 pilose, the mouth brown. 



Aedis. 



Konow, D. E. Z„ 1886, 188. 



Body elongate-ovate; eyes oblong, situated at a 

 slight distance from the base of the mandibles. An- 

 tennae short, thickish, slightly attenuate at the apex, 

 the third joint not twice the length of the fourth ; the 

 transverse basal nervure interstitial ; hind wings with 

 one discoidal cellule, the sheath at the apex ending in 

 a sharp point. 



Our species are — 



Blennocamjpa sulcata (Yol. I, p. 236). 

 — bipunctata (Yol. I, p. 242). 



Blennooampa bipunotata (Yol. I, p. 242). 



Brischke (1. c, 74, Taf. iv, fig. 10) describes and 

 figures the larva of what he calls B. bipunctata, Kl. It 

 agrees exactly in description of the larva and its 

 habits with the larva of Poecilosoma candidatum (vol. i, 

 p. 210) ; and as Brischke quotes Selandria candidata, 

 Yoll., as a synonym, although a reference to Yollen- 

 livoen's plate would have shown that his candidata was 

 not a Blennocampa but a Poecilosoma, it looks as if 

 some mistake had been made in the identification of 

 the species.
