and lias shorter, closer antenmo ; and, I think, the disc of the 
thorax is yellowish brown, with the sides black ; while the plenrai 
seem to have a largish bright yellow spot in front, near the humeri ; 
behind which is a smaller blackish spot ; then above the coxaj is a 
second larger bright yellow spot, elongated above which is a second 
blackish rounded spot, larger than the first, and bearing short 
yellow hairs, also in front of the second yellow spot is a third 
blackish spot ; the edge of the abdomen is bright yellow, and the 
upper side conspicuously fasciated, the basal three-fifths of each 
segment being dark, and the last two-thirds dull yellowish ; the 
belly is duller yellowish brown ; the knees and tips of the tibice are 
blackened, the spurs are longish and dark. The wings seem 
darker than the first species, and the upper fork of the second 
vein more abrupt.” 
“ In the bead is a small Xipliandyimn (1). When Loew’s paper 
appeared this genus was included under lihapJiiinn, of which he 
says, only a few little notable species occur. This one has a some- 
what metallic greenish thorax and broad frons. I think I can 
detect a smallish free hypopygium with some long hairs, and the 
long narrow antenna with terminal arista ; the anterior femora are 
thin and longish, and, 1 fancy, dark with yellowish bases ; possibly 
the hind metatarsus is thickened in some way. The third and 
fourth wing-veins run parallel, and the large cross-vein is twice its 
own length from the edge of the wing.” 
“Thus you will see all three species arc fairly examinable, and 
they are not far from existing British species.”
