every way, (3) radius not angled where it meets with 2nd (transparent!) intercubital, but bent [[image]], & beyond this very sinuous to apex (4) base of abdomen partly rufous or picco-rufous, especially in ♀, (5) legs paler, hind femora more slender.

17.3. 40 cont.  Opius notes cont.

[Sp. 4 cont.] All these, 2 ♂♂, & 3 ♀♀, are very close to "Sp. 2," ♀♀, but the ♀♀ less than terebra apparently longer, quite 1/4 abdomen, & all have radius angled at interception of 2nd transverse cubital & not so sinuous beyond. The pale (at base) anntennae separate the ♂♂ from pallipe. Labelled "sp. 4. 17.3.40!" AWS.

Sp. 5.  1 ♀, Powerscourt, WI. A.W.S 4.10.28, previously mounted flat, face down, was found to have the "mouth open" when mounted & runs to sacrus or instabilis but has 27-seg. ant. I have therefore put it down tenatively as a small ♀ sacrus! A.W.S. 18.3.40.

Sp. 6.  1 ♂, Killoughter, WI. A.W.S. 3.9.33.
This was obviously misplaced as it has crenate sternati, erected recurrent nerve, 28-seg ant., quite closed mouth & no trace of pre-scutellar forea, i.e. dimple. In Marshall's key it runs to leptostigma or parvulus both of which are quite impossible. The legs bore a rich reddish testaccous h & body rather black & stout, at least 1 line long. Labelled "Sp. no. 6., 18.3.1940!" A.W.S.
