Types: c? d*, 9 9 , Germany (destroyed during World War II). Male: Color as in vesicarius euurae except as follows: tegula often fuscous posteriorly; front and middle coxae often narrowly fuscous at bases, occasionally blackish with yellowish apices; hind coxa usually black, rarely black with reddish apex; front and middle femora and tibiae almost uniformly pale reddish; hind femur dark reddish, some- times suffused with fuscous; hind tibia brownish to fuscous sub- basally and at apex, with intermediate region somewhat paler but not distinctly annulate; tarsi varying from pale to dark brownish with lighter bases. Female: Color mostly as in vesicarius euurae except as follows: palpi usually more or less fuscous; tegula usually fuscous posteriorly; front and middle tibiae without fuscous annuli; hind tibia pale brown- ish to dull reddish, or occasionally with indistinct subbasal and apical fuscous annuli, but if so then without the intermediate region in form of a broad whitish annulus. Mr. J. F. Perkins (British Museum) kindly supplied specimens of this species, from England, and has subsequently confirmed my identification. Other Palearctic material examined by me includes specimens from England, in the Townes collection, and a male taken in Lappland (67°58' N. and 3°34' E.), Sweden, July 25, 1951, by J. R. Vockeroth, and now in the Canadian National Figures 13-15.—Localities: 13 (left), Scambus (Scambus) subtilis; 14 (center), S. (S.) vesicarius vesicarius; 15 (righ
