(Males) 



i Antennal fiagellum (Text-fig. 179) noticeably hairy, its hairs standing out at an 



angle of about 45 ° and relatively long ; scape not expanded distally, about 

 three times as long as broad, hardly more than half as long as an eye, its 

 external surface wholly reticulate. Legs (except coxae) yellowish testace- 

 ous, with the fifth tarsal segment usually fuscous, occasionally segments 

 two to four of the hind tarsi dusky above. Eye rather more than four times 

 as long as malar space ..... elegans Walker (p. 228) 



Antennal fiagellum (Text-figs. 180-182) not noticeably hairy, its hairs sub- 

 adpressed (or at most a few of them outstanding) and relatively short ; scape 

 sometimes expanded distally, distinctly more than half as long as an eye, its 

 outer surface with at least a small smooth boss at the distal end. At least 

 the mid tibiae slightly infuscate at their tips ; mid tarsi blackish with at 

 most their first segment pale ; sometimes the hind tibiae, the tarsi, and the 

 femora, are more or less infuscate ....... 2 



2 (1) Antennal scape (Text-figs. 180, 181) strongly expanded in its distal half, only 



2 to 2-6 times as long as broad, the smooth boss on the outer surface extend- 

 ing at least half way down the scape ....... 3 



- Antennal scape (Text-fig. 182) only slightly expanded distally, the smooth 



boss extending at least slightly less than half way down .... 4 



3 (2) Eye 4-1 to 6 times as long as the malar space. Mid tarsi black with only the 



proximal half to two thirds of their first segment pale or whitish-testaceous. 

 Segments of antennal funicle often with four rows of sensilla (Text-fig. 180) 



rufipes Walker (p. 230) 

 Eye 3-1 to 3-4 times as long as the malar space. Mid tarsi black with their 

 first segment wholly or mainly testaceous. Segments of antennal funicle 

 with three rows of sensilla (Text-fig. 181) ..... sp. indet. 



4 (2) Hind femora, excluding trochantellus, stout, hardly more than four times as 



long as broad. Antennal fiagellum (Text-fig. 182) relatively stouter ; 

 funicular segments shorter, the first hardly or only just twice as long as 

 broad, the middle segments 2 to 2-25 times as long as broad 



hortensis Walker (p. 230) 

 Hind femora more slender, excluding the trochantellus, 4-8 to 5-7 times as 

 long as broad. Antennal fiagellum relatively more slender ; funicular 

 segments longer, the first 2-2 to 2-25 times as long as broad, the middle 

 segments 2-5 to 2-8 times as long as broad . . maculata Walker (p. 231)

Type material. Miscogaster elegans Walker. Syntypes, 5 specimens. LECTO- 

 TYPE $, the second in the series, bearing a Waterhouse label. 



Chrysolampus punctiger Nees. Types destroyed. 



Lamprotatus helenor Walker. One male, which has the gastral petiole abnormally 

 short (teratological) ; Walker is hardly likely to have had more than one specimen 

 showing such an abnormality, therefore this male is presumed to be the holotype.
