. Fig. 121. Antenna of S. annulipesQ. X 110. and Hammeren. My dates ^/e—^^/i>. It occurs in the same way as the preceding species. Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Spain and further on the Canary Islands; towards the north to northern Sweden, and in Finland. 29. Clipysotiinus Loew. Very small species of bright green colour, with abdomen yellow in the female. Head about of the breadth of thorax, as broad as high or a little broader, semiglobular, but a little narroved down- wards; it is slightly arched behind. Vertex almost not excavated. Frons broad, decreasing in breadth towar

Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Spain and further on the Canary Islands; towards the north to northern Sweden, and in Finland. 29. Clipysotiinus Loew. Very small species of bright green colour, with abdomen yellow in the female. Head about of the breadth of thorax, as broad as high or a little broader, semiglobular, but a little narroved down- wards; it is slightly arched behind. Vertex almost not excavated. Frons broad, decreasing in breadth towards the antennae; there are ocellar, outer vertical, and somewhat distantly placed postvertical bristles; besides a pair of small hairs on the ocellar tubercle. Eyes large, somewhat oval, a little narrowed downwards; they are very short-hairy, almost microscopically. The facets are of the same or about the same size. The eyes are equally separated in both sexes. The postocular bristles form a single row, and besides there are only a few hairs on the lower part of occiput. Antennae inserted near to each other, a little above the middle; they are very short, of the same shape in both sexes, the third joint shorter than broad; it is hollowed behind and thus almost cup-shaped, in profile it is almost reniform; arista dorsal, but somewhat subapical, much longer than the antennae; its first joint is short. The first antennal joint is bare, the second has small bristles at the apex, the third joint and the arista with short but distinct hairs. Epistoma not specially narrow; the clypeus is indistinctly separated by a small notch at each side, it is short and does not reach the lower margin of the eyes. Proboscis a little protruding, it and the oral aperture are of the same or about the same size in the two sexes. Thorax rectangular, somewhat high, and a little arched above; behind, in front of the scutellum, there is 25
