stands in Desvignes' "Catalogue of British Ichneumonidae in the 

 collection of the British Museum " of 185(3. But the Rev. T. A. 

 Marshall, in his Catalogues of 1870 aud 1872, follows Taschenberg's 

 erroneous synonymy of M. transfuga as a Tariety of M. alhinotatus, 

 Grav. Thomson in 1873 showed its specific right, and consequently 

 I omitted it from the synonymy of the latter species in my " Ichneu- 

 monologia Britannica," ii (1907), p. 268. Possibly it may be M. 

 albinofatus, of which nothing definite in this country is known, that 

 should be omitted, although judging from its continental distribution 

 it is as likely to occur with us as M. transfuga ; this I have stated at 

 Uh. cit. 2G4. 



From M. albinotatus it is easily distinguished by the lack of 

 lateral prominences at the base of the petiole, by the posteriorly 

 broader head, the finely punctate frons, and the white ^ pronotuin. 



I beat a single (^ from the undergrowth in Norton Wood, near 

 Yarmouth, June 2uth, 1907.

This small Tryphonid appears to have been noticed by no one 

 since its description by A. E. Holmgren from " Uplandia ad Holmiam 

 et in Dalecarlia (CI. Boheman) ; in Lapponia meridionali, passim." 

 It differs from his A. palli'idi]pes, which Bridgman records under the 

 name A. chrysopygus, Grav. {cf. Thorns., Op. Ent., ix, 879), from 

 Earlham (Trans. Norfolk Soc, 1898, p. 027) with no note of its 

 novelty as British, in its stout antennae, which are hardly longer than 

 the head and thorax, and gradually become incrassate towards their 

 apices. 



A single $ was found in my sweep net in Marvell Copse, near 

 Newport, on June 25th, 1907.

Chrysomela marginata, L., on Arthur's Seat. — In vol. xii, 1st series, p. 135, of 

 this Magazine, Mr. Forbes stated that this species occurred not uncommonly on 

 Arthur's Seat in a verj restricted locality. Every summer since I came to Edin- 

 burgh in 1901 I have searched carefully for this insect, but it was not until 190G 

 that I at length found a few. The first specimens (two) were taken on June 28th, 

 and by July 15th I had secui'ed a small scries ; after that date the insect was not
