Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Italy, towards the north to northern Sw^eden. Remarks: It seems to me that Becker has confused the females of this and the foregoing species, as he describes ater with the frons quite grey and the ovipositor straight, and Thomsoni with the frons black above and ovipositor recurved, while I find just the reverse. That my females really belong to ater is, I think, beyond doubt, for the first they agree well in size, and they are also agreeing with my males with regard to localities; this is, to be sure, not convincing, but further I have bred both sexes of ater from some pupae found together, and this fact is, I think, of importance. The four species varipes, spinipes, Thomsoni and ater form one group and are related and similar, but surely distinct; the males will
