This very queer species does not quite lit into the group oi " Hebcseddes " of 

 Lacordaire, as the intermediate tibiae have a deep incision.

I cannot find any genus of Lamiini to which Lagrida is allied. As regards 

 the characters of the scape, intermediate tibiae, and claws, I provisionally place 

 it in the group of " Hi^h^s^cides.'" tliongh its general apj)earance is quite dili'ereut 

 from the species of this group.
