REVIEW OF A FEW MORE PROVANCHER TYPES 

 OF ICHNEUMONID^. 



G. C. DAVIS, AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, MICHIGAN. 



In making a study of the Provancher types of Ichneumonidse while 

 at Quebec a year ago last winter, the type of many of the more recent 

 descriptions was not found in the collection. Since that time types of 

 many of the Abbe's latest descriptions have been found to be with the 

 ones who sent the material, and are not lost, as was at first feared. Mr. 

 W. H. Harrington, of Ottawa, has quite a number of these types, and 

 through his kindness and generosity I have been privileged to study the 

 types in his possession. The following notes are the result of this review : 



Ichneumon citrinus ^ = Hepiopelniiis, Wesm. — This would be an 

 Amblyteles by Cresson's synopsis. 



Amblyteles superbus = Amblyteles snturalis, Say. 



Phaeogenes anmdatipei = Ichn. annul ipes, Cress. 



Phaeogenes pitiguis is a Cryptus. The ovipositor is almost as long 

 as the abdomen. 



Stilpjius deficietis = Thersilochus. — The abdomen is piceous, with 

 segment 2 and the tip paler. 



Phygadeuon margifiatus = Herpisiomus. 



Phygadeuon longicornis = Cryptus incertus, Cress. — The metanotum 

 has two transverse carinte, the tegulse are reddish-black, and the abdomen 

 is tipped with a pale spot at the apex above. 



Phygadeuon fusiformis ^ Cryptus montivagus. — The only differ- 

 ence is in the posterior tarsi, which are pale, but segments 2-4 are not 

 yellowish as in typical montivagus. According to Provancher (See 

 p. 408 of "Add. et Corrections ") PJiygad. annulatus = fusiformis, and so 

 making it a synonym also. 



Phygadeuon gracilicornis — Herpistomus. 



Phygadeuon fraterculus = Cryptus. 



Phygadeuon similaris == Cryptus soror. Cress. — ^It is a typical sorer 

 except the white scutellum. It may become a variety. 



Phygad. capitalis $. — Probably O K, but may prove to be a S 

 Cryptus. The petiole is narrow, gradually enlarged, almost straight, 

 spiracles in or just back of the centre. Front with a large irregular 

 tubercle just beneath the antennte, apparently caused by an injury. 



Cryptus pubescens, ,^ , O K. 



Cryptus segregatus, $ , O K. — From the description of this species
