The following is a second species of this section ; it occurs 

 also as a single specimen which, like L. anomalum, has a rela- 

 tively stout antenna — in fact, the antenna is practically as 

 shown in fig. 5 (p. 45). 



Lagaroceras infuscatum, sp. n. 



Head (top view) : — Frons all palish ochreous brown, dull 

 and black -haired, the triangle shining dark orange-brown 

 and of peculiar shape ; the basal part is about | as broad as 

 the vertical cross-breadth ; it continues normally along the 

 frons, but about midway is suddenly constricted, and then 

 continues like a narrow spear-head to the antennal base ; 

 each side of the constricted point is a yellow raised spot on 

 the triangle ; the surface is somewhat variegated in stria; 

 and the middle area is rather darker than the rest; just at 

 the hind eye angles occur the usual pale spots carrying the 

 vertical bristles. The f. o. b. small, but distinct. Hind head 

 all black. Side-view : — Frons a little prominent, covering 

 the antennal base, brown ; face-outline nearly linear, if 

 anything slightly concave, from antennae to mouth. The 

 total length of the antennae is about equal to the face; the 

 2nd joint about half as long as 3rd, which is a little less 

 than twice as long as broad ; rounded oval in outline, all 

 darkened except for a tiny spot of orange on the base of 

 3rd joint below ; arista normal, white and pubescent, with 

 smooth pale yellow base. Jowls, lower and hind, palish 

 yellow, the former about half the depth of 3rd joint. Palpi 

 black. The face is darkened with a narrow emarginate 

 paler mouth-margin ; the eyes have short silvery margins. 



Thorax : dorsum black and finely punctate, with three 

 very narrow grey lines. Scutellum flattisb, similar to thorax, 

 with a dark orange median line, two teimiual and one adja- 

 cent smaller bristle each side. Pleura very shining brownish 

 black, except for a yellow stiipe just below the mesopleura. 

 Wings with venation similar to pulchellum, 2nd and 3rd 

 quite parallel, but the cross-vein is slightly slo[)ed backAvards. 

 Halteres white, with a brown stalk. 



Legs orange, the femora progressively more infuscate 

 from fore to hind pairs, the laNt tarsal joint darkened. 

 Size (ex. autetmie) 2^ mm.
