dilated at the tip of the wing, and on each side 

 of those transverse nervures that are beyond the 

 middle : tergum with a large rounded black spot 

 on each segment, and a black line on the lateral 

 edge. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



Very closely allied to L. scolopacea, Fabricius, 

 of Europe, but it differs from that insect in seve- 

 ral particulars, as in the colour of the antennae, 

 stethidium, feet, &c. The specimen is a male.
