sented by a short impressed line before the scutellum ; metathorax 
finely rugulose. Wings with brown nervures and squamulse ; a 
slight inflation of the costa denotes the base of the stigma ; 1st 
cubital areolet imperfectly separated from the 2ud, and from the 
1st discoidal ; intercubital nervures, anal nervure, and exterior 
portion of the cubital, decoiorous, the rest of the nervulation very 
distinct. Legs rufo-testaceous, with the cox{3e, and sometimes the 
femora as well as the apical half of the tibiee, fuscescent, or 
blackish. First abdominal segment slightly narrowed towards the 
base, very finely striohite, elevated. Terebra short, exserted. 
$ . Antennae longer than the body, 24-jointed ; wings more dis- 
tinctly white, with blackish nervures; legs blackish, with the tips 
ot the trochanters and base of the tibiae rufescent. Length, 1:^ ; 
wings, 2| lines. 
Rare in England and Ireland ; I have two specimens 
found in Wiltshire and Cornwall. Ifc probably forms the 
genus Golohomaj Fdrster.
