ICHNEUMONIDAE AND BRACONIDAE FROM THE 

 NORTH-EAST OF IRELAND. 



BY REV. W. F. JOHNSON, M.A., F.E.S. 



In my last contribution on this subject (1904) I cnimicratcd 

 twenty-seven species, and I am now able to add about 

 double as man}-. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Claude 

 Morley, F.E.S. for kind assistance in the determination of 

 my specimens, and to Mr. H. L. Orr, for sending me many 

 admirable specimens from Belfast and the neighbourhood. 

 Several of the species are rare according to our present 

 knowledge and interesting from a distributional point of 

 view. Those from Belfast and neighbourhood, as well as 

 those from Richhill, were taken b}' Mr. Orr, the rest by 

 myself. 



ICHNEUMONIDAE.

Co. Antrim, 24th February, 1912. The specimen taken by Mr. 



Orr in Carr's Glen was found under loose bark on a birch tree. This is 



the first British record of its hibernation. It is a rather rare species 



in the British Islands.

uncommon.
