Black with the abdomen usually, and the legs partly, pale ; hind femora 

 mainly or entirely black, their tibiae white with two black marks. Length, 

 4-5 mm. 



This species is easily known by the posteriorly narrow head, the 

 elongate and entire metanotal areola, the flavous stigma emitting radial 

 nervure beyond its centre with the nearly straight and not elongate apical 

 abscissa of the latter, stramineous trochanters, the internally black tibiae 

 which are externally white before their base and broadly white-banded 

 centrally. 



Common in north and central Europe, though Grav. only knew two 

 females sent him from Silesia and Paris; (laulle says it has been bred 

 from Plusia gamma. This is probably the " Sagariiis annulipes, Tschek," 

 found by Bridgman in June at Brundall in Norfolk ; in any case the 

 species is not uncommon with us, in fact it is probably the most generally 

 met with ; Surrey (Capron), Herts (Piflfard), Devonport in May and bred 

 from its rough and pale brown cocoon in November (de la Garde), West 

 Runton in Norfolk, August, 1900 (Wainwright). It has usually occurred 

 to me on AngiUca sylvcstris flowers in marshy places ; Henstead near 

 Lowestoft towards the end of August, 1898; during June in Framlingham 

 Castle moat and during August on flowers at Barton Mills in Suffolk, as 

 well as at Brandon and Tuddenham Fen in the same month.

Head rarely buccate behind the finely pilose and internally but slightly 

 emarginate eyes ; clypeus somewhat convex, laterally foveolate, apically 

 rounded and basally not or indistinctly discreted ; mandibular teeth of 

 subequal length ; cheeks subbuccate with their costa inflexed ; face of 9 

 strongly constricted towards the apex. Thorax longer than high ; meta- 

 thorax with nearly complete and weakly carinate areae, and circular 

 spiracles. Abdomen of 9 apically subcompressed, of both sexes much 

 longer than head and thorax and subcylindrical ; petiole with neither 

 lateral sulci nor scrobes, twice longer and a little narrower than the 

 discally subdeplanate postpetiole ; ventral plica of basal segment hardly 

 shorter than that of second; terebra and in both sexes the seventh 

 segment exserted, with former hardly longer than basal segment. Legs 

 normal, slender and not short. Wings not broad ; areolet regular and 

 petiolate, emitting the vertical and broadly fenestrate recurrent nervure 

 from its centre; discoidal cell apically rectangular below ; stigma narrow; 

 radial cell not elongate, with apical radial abscissa but slightly curved ; 

 nervellus geniculate. 



Superficially the genus may be recognised by the exactly continuous 

 basal nervure, the uniform length of the straight terebra which is about 

 that of the basal segment, the hind tibiae never white, nor conspicuously 

 black-marked, the cylindrical form with the elongate and often red-
