Phygailcuon scoticjis, Marsh. E.M.M. v. 154, 9 . 



? . Black, somewhat deplanate, with fulvous pilosity. Head coriaceous, 

 remotely punctulate ; vertex with a broad, shining fovea l)ehind the 

 antennae ; palpi castaneous. Antennae stout, filiform, slightly longer 

 than the head and thorax, infuscate. Thorax immaculate ; mesonotum 

 punctate and somewhat nitidulous; metathorax rugulose, with the spiracular 

 and pleural areae alone entire ; petiolar area basally entire ; apophyses 

 wanting and spiracles orbicular. Scutellum black. Abdomen caslaneous, 

 dull and aciculate throughout ; basal segment black, with the tubercles not 

 prominent ; anus whitish, with the apical segments sometimes infuscate ; 

 terebra rather longer than the first segment. Legs black, with the tibiae, 

 tarsi and apices of femora and trochanters, castaneous. Wings clouded ; 

 tegulae castaneous, radix pale ; areolet pentagonal, with the external 

 nervure obsolete. Length, 7-8 mm. 



Marshall says this $ is allied to ATicrocryptns ahdivninalo?- and Al. pcr- 

 spicii/ator, but is larger, with immaculate antennae and dull abdomen. 

 The females oi Jllicrocrypfus, however, always have pale-banded antennae, 

 and the present position is tentatively assigned to it solely on account 

 of the abdominal aciculation, which most closely approaches that of 

 P. rngulosus and some species of Acaiithocryptus. 



$. Head dull and broader than the eyes; face somewhat strongly 

 punctate, clypeus distinctly bidentate apically, mandibles red and basally 

 broader than the length of the cheeks. Antennae hardly setaceous, in- 

 fuscate throughout and nearly the length of the body, with the scape 

 cylindrical. Notauli wanting ; costulae and sides of the transverse and 

 rectangular areola weak ; petiolar area dull and coriaceous, obsoletely dis- 

 creted and reaching the centre ; spiracles hardly circular. Abdomen 

 black, with the anus and all the incisures castaneous ; basal segment 

 elongate and sub-linear, dull and coriaceous ; post-petiole sub-striolate. 

 Legs red, with base of all the trochanters, the strongly punctate posterior 

 coxae, the hind tarsi and more or less of their femora, black. Wings 

 ample and somewhat broad ; stigma broad and piceous, nervellus inter- 

 cepted below centre. Length, 6 mm. 



This (J, which is here for the first time noticed, agrees with the descrip- 

 tion of the 5 in every particular. 



Two specimens from the Black Wood of Rannoch (ALarshall). My 

 single male was swept from bushes in the Bentley A\'oods, near Ipswich, 

 on 16th June, 1902. This species is quite unknown, at present, on the 

 Continent.
