White Mts., Morrison ; two from Canada, J. Jack ; another from 

 Europe ; $ 9 from Sweden, Mus. Lund, types of H. villosus, 

 Zett. ; $ 9 from St. Petersburg, August, O. Sacken ; from Koenigs- 

 berg, E. Prussia, July ; from Silesia, May 6, type of H. intricatus 

 Scmneid. ; from Pommerania ; from Hambourg ; from Zurich, Swit- 

 zerland, very common in pine forests, sent by Bremi as H. aphidi- 

 vorus Schrk. ; one $ from Syracuse, Sicily, April 1844, Zeller, the 

 type described by Schneider ; I have seen a large number, the types 

 of Wesmael, Rambur, and from Madeira, Wollaston. 



Stett., Ent. Zeit. xix, 130, no. 2. I have quoted specimens from 

 S. Russia and Irkutzk, Siberia. Both are no longer in my collec- 

 tion ; but I have reason to doubt the determination of the speci- 

 men from Irkutzk ; after Zetterstedt and Wallengren, M. angulatus 

 is widely distributed in Sweden, but always rare, July to Septem- 

 ber. In England, M'Lachlan, very rare, but widely distributed in 

 summer. In France, Rambur, common everywhere ; also in Sar- 

 dinia ; in Belgium near Bruxelles ; in Austria, Brauer, near Vienna, 

 rare. 



After a careful examination of Schrank's description Fn. Austr. 

 p. 313, no. 627, and the more detailed in Fuesly N. Mag. 1, 283, I 

 am convinced that his H. aphidivorus is not this species but prob- 

 ably H. marginatus. I have adopted in my synopsis on Bremi's 

 authority and only in the Madeira Neur. Schrank's name. Brauer 

 and Schneider have never adopted it, but M'Lachlan and Wal- 

 lengren, perhaps on my authority. In my manuscript notes on 

 Stephens' species, I had II. angulatus determined as H. aphidivorus 

 and as M'Lachlan gives the same determination, the name of 

 Stephens has to be restored. 



The North American specimens are doubtless identical with the 

 European species. M. angulatus, though much smaller, imitates 

 M. paganus in the bands of the front wings. 



4. Micromus meridionalis Costa. 



Mucropalpus meridionalis Costa, Nnov. studii Ent. Calabr. ult. p.

Costa has in both papers referred his species to Mucropalpus, 

 but the narrow base of the costal space unites it to Micromus. 

 The circumstance that it was collected in the valley of Aspromonte,
