A New Species

This species keys to eleodis Vier. in Muesebeck's revision (U.S. Dept. Agric., Misc. Pub. No. 241, p. 16, 1936) and is very similar to that species and M. aethiops Nees. The female of M. eleodis differs in having a longer ovipositor sheath (about 1.2 times as long as abdomen bevond petiole), shorter petiole (only 1.9 to 2.2 times as long as its apical width), less strongly excavated and longer propodeum (only about 1.5 times as wide as long). The female of M. aethiops differs in having a pair of small dorsal pits near the middle of the petiole (both sexes), shorter ovipositor sheath (about 0.75 times as long as abdomen beyond petiole), slightly shorter petiole (about 2.2 times as long as apical width), and completely black petiole.

A New Species

The author stated that, in July last, he obtained from the Frith of Forth a species of Bream, which he believes to be the Pagellus acarne of Cuvier. Length 13 inches; depth 4 inches; head one-third the length of the body not including the tail-fin. General form resembling that of the Sea Bream, but not so deep in proportion to its length. Scales large; 70 forming the lateral line, 6½ in an oblique row between it and the first ray of the dorsal-fin. Anterior-teeth small and numerous, disposed in many rows; outer row composed of 30 teeth, longer and more bent than those within; molars large, disposed in three rows in each jaw.D 12–12, P 16, V8, A 3–11, C. 20. Body pale silvery red. Dorsal and caudal fins rose-red; ventral and anal fins paler. Between the eyes reddish-brown; in front of the eyes and on the lower half of the preoperculum, metallic grey; on the upper part of the base of each pectoral fin, a deep violet-coloured spot, very conspicuous even in the dried state.
