1922. Johnson. Insects at Carlingford, Co. Louth. 15 



species which is not mentioned by Cameron/ but which, 

 according to Konow,^ ranges through middle and northern 

 Europe to Mongoha and Siberia. Quite a number of 

 Selandria stramineipes occurred among Bracken along the 

 held path, but I could only get females. T hoped at first 

 that I had got S. analis, but found I was mistaken. 



Rhogogaster auctipariae and Tenthredopsis Coquehertii 

 were abundant, and Allantiis arcuatus and A. Perkinsi were 

 beginning to appear before I left. As most of my attention 

 was given to the Ichneumon Flies, their list is naturally the 

 longest. I was greatly delighted to capture a second speci- 

 men of Euryproctiis (Hypamblys) buccatus Hlgr. I took it 

 on June 7th, in the afternoon between 3 and 5 p.m. My 

 notebook says, " hot sun, cold wind, not much about." 

 This specimen is a male ; the one I took at Po\mtzpass^ 

 was a female. 



The Stenichneumon culpator which I took is entirely 

 black, but being a female, the coxal processes identify it, 

 and Morley^ mentions such a form. Ambly teles subsericans 

 is an uncommon form, having the scutellum entirely black. 

 It will be noticed that my list of Pimplinae is very short, 

 but they seem not to appear so early. I always get plenty 

 of them in July and August, and even later. Among the 

 Tryphoninae Bassiis variicoxa occurred in numbers at a bed 

 of thistles on the shore. Probably they were attracted by 

 Syrphid larvae feeding on the Aphides which infested the 

 thistles. Catoglyptus fortipes was very abundant, flying 

 among the Bracken along the field path, in fact I got quite to 

 know their flight and so avoid catching them. 



I only met with one solitary Braconid, Meteorus jaculator, 

 of which I captured a male on the field path.
