A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A KNOWLEDGE 

 OF THE SCOTTISH CRYPTIN^E (ICHNEU- 



MONIDM}. 



By P. CAMERON. 



IN this paper I have only enumerated the species I have 

 collected myself, and in my own collection. It cannot 

 therefore be regarded, in any respect, as a complete catalogue 

 of the species inhabiting Scotland ; but the I 1 3 species 

 enumerated may be looked upon as fairly illustrating the 

 Cryptince of the country. The species were examined some 

 years ago by the late Mr. John B. Bridgman of Norwich 

 and, more recently, by Mr. Claude Morley, the author of a 

 work on the British Cryptince. 



Judging by my collection the tribe Cryptini (which 

 contains some of the largest species) appears to be poorly 

 represented in Scotland, although common in more southern 

 districts. 



I have followed the generic arrangement of Prof. 

 Schmiedeknecht in his Opuscula Ichneumonologica.
