t 



third cubital cellule with its posterior lower angle less 

 acute; the hind wings without a closed cellule; the 

 claws with a wide tooth close to the base. 



He remarks that these two species cannot remain in 

 Blennoca?npa owing to the striking length of the 

 transverse basal nervure, and to the claws having a 

 broad basal tooth, the true Blennocampge having the 

 claws cleft equally in two, the inner being more slender 

 than the outer. 



HOPLOCAMPA FEEEUGINEA (Vol. I, p. 259). 



According to Kirby (List of Hymen., i, 165) this is 

 a synonym of Tenthredo apicaris, Fourc. (Ent. Par., ii, 

 376). If this be so ajpicaris is the earlier name, and 

 should be adopted ; but I am not at all satisfied as 

 to this. 



Brischke (1. c, 68) suspects that the larvae live in 

 unripe cherries. 



HOPLOCAMPA CRATJ1GI (Vol. I, p. 261). 



The larva, according to Brischke, lives in the unripe 

 fruit of Crataegus. The young larva is shining, trans- 

 versely wrinkled, with a large head; whitish-yellow, 

 in the back reddish-brown. The thoracic legs above, 

 the anal legs, the base of the claspers, the penultimate 

 segment above, greyish. The very shining head is 

 greyish-black; the face and mouth bright reddish- 

 yellow, the former with greyish shades ; the apex of 

 the sharp-toothed mandibles brownish-red; the eyes 

 black; the antennas conical. The full-fed larva is 

 5 mm. long, brighter, the thoracic legs being also 

 brighter ; the back reddish ; the head brownish-yellow ; 

 the front, vertex and the hinder part of the head black ; 

 a brown spot on the face ; the apex of the mandibles 

 reddish-brown. Brischke says they have only twenty 

 legs.
