Remarks. The description, figure and measurements are based on the syntype in BMNH. This is mounted on a small piece of clear mica(?) attached to a card with the rear corners cut off. Labels are present as follows: ' angulicolle Brisout 1866 ' (in Matthews' hand, back corners also cut off); ' angulicolle Type from M. Brisout de Barneville France 1866' (in Matthews' hand on blue card with the rear corners cut off); '2239' (Matthews/Mason collection number); ' Matthews coll. 1904 - 120' ( BMNH accession number) and 'Syntype' (added by BMNH). ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 14 ).
Details of the ventrum, viewed through the mount, were not sufficiently clear to enable positive determination to Micridium and for the reasons given above no attempt was made to detach the insect or to dissect it so that the sex is not known.
