NEMATUS FLAVESCENS. 197 



Nematus ceooeus (Vol. II, p. 144). 



As already indicated, this should be called N. 

 miliar is, Pz. 



Nematus cadderensis (Yol. II, p. 147). 



Konow in his catalogue sinks this as a synonym of 

 N. miliaris (croceus) ; but the larvaa are so different,

The imago of this species is not to be distinguished 

 from miliaris (croceus) by any appreciable characters. 



The larva is, however, so very different, that we 

 may conclude that the two are quite distinct. It 

 feeds on the beech, eating the leaves along the edges. 

 It is green, shining, rather cylindrical, the dorsal

 given by Konow as a Pachynematus with olivaceus, 

 Thorns., and ruficeps, Zadd., as synonyms. Our 

 species is certainly identical with varius, Brischke and 

 Zaddach, and agrees perfectly, with a type I had
