Phygadeuon fiavopunctatus, n. s. 



Niger ; abdominis medio pedibus anticis et tibiarmn posticarum 

 basi rujfis, tarsis posticis annulo albo, facie scutelloque flavo macu- 

 late. 



Head narrow behind the eyes, not concave in the middle, apex 

 of clypeiis rotundate, forehead punctate, interstices finely reticu- 

 late ; antennae about as long as the body ; 1st joint of the flagellum 

 almost four times as long as wide. Mesonotum shining, somewhat 

 coarsely punctate ; transverse fovea at base of mesonotum con- 

 sute ; scutellum slightly gibbose, shining, somewhat sparingly 

 pimctate ; metathorax shining ; posterior portion of superior surface 

 rugose, not coarsely so ; supero-medial area elongate, longer than 

 wide, not closed above, lateral areas not divided ; posterior face 

 rather coarsely rugose, not subdivided ; spiracles large and oval. 

 Abdomen smooth and shining, longer than the head and thorax, 

 and narrower than the latter ; 1st segment slender, spiracles 

 placed beyond the middle, post-petiole longer than wide, very little 

 wider at the apex than at the base, petiole bicarinated, feebly 

 longitudinally rugose ; 2nd segment one-third longer than wide ; 

 3rd a little shorter; remainder transverse. Legs slender; tibiae 

 somewhat spinulose. Areolet of wings pentagonal ; posterior 

 inferior angle of discoidal cell obtuse ; transverse anal slightly 

 anti-furcal, divided below the middle. 



Black; clypeus, a squarish mark below the antennae, a spot on 

 the scutellum and sometimes a minute dot beneath it, and base of 

 wings, yellow. Apex of 1st segment, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, red. 

 Front and middle legs reddish yellow ; coxae and trochanters 

 black ; hind legs black ; apex of trochanters, the extreme base and 

 apex of femora, less than the basal half of tibiae and calcariae, 

 fi;lvous-red ; 3rd and 4th joints of hind tarsi white. Tegulae and 

 stigma dark brown ; wings slightly yellowish. Male. Length, 

 8—10 mm. 



I took these males on Mousehold, near Norwich, on 

 October 3rd, 1881. They come very near P.persjncillator 

 and airogans, but differ from perspicillatoi- in having the 

 apex of the abdomen black. In this respect it is like 

 arrogans, but differs from this latter in having a pale 

 spot in the middle of the face, and orbits black, and 

 only the 3rd and 4th joints of the hind tarsi white. 



These two species Prof. Thomson first placed in his 

 subgenus Plectocryptus (Opus. Ent., 599), and afterwards 

 in MicrocrypiiLS {I. c, 850), the former having large oval 

 metathoracic spiracles, and the latter small circular
