I took a male at Downe, Kent, on a small fungus (possibly Coprinus) in damp grass and a male at Old Slade, Bucks., on Coprinus radians growing on an elm log. P. trisignata (Edwards) (Figs. 3, 5) 20 $ and 14 2, including holotype $; throughout Britain, less common than trivittata in the south but more frequent in Scotland north to Ross, including the islands of Arran and Eigg. P. parallela (Edwards) Only the holotype 2. The Nearctic species of PseudexechiaIt is necessary to discuss the Nearctic species here because 48 entomologists record, vol. 90 15/11/78.
