Chrysis cceruleipes, Fab. — Shuckard describes this insect as British, 

 but Smith is no doubt right in rejecting it. There is one specimen in 

 the Museum, ticketed " cuprea,'^ and placed apart from the rest of the 

 collection. Smith says he has ascertained that Dr. Leach took it in 

 Italy ; and no doubt this is the most probable account of its origin. 

 I have several specimens of it from South Europe ; but it is quite 

 unlikely to occur with us, being parasitic on small species of Osmia, 

 which have not been found in our latitudes. 



I will now conclude with a Revised List and Synoptic Table of 

 such Chrysids as seem to me to have a satisfactory claim to rank as 

 British, excluding the probable foreigners admitted by Smith or 

 Shuckard, viz., H. ccerulescens, E. purpuratus, and C. cceruleipes. Where 

 Smith's name has to be altered, I give it as a synonym in italics, but it 

 seems needless to occupy space with a complete synonymy, which can 

 be found worked out at length in Mocsary, and will soon appear also 

 in " Species." Only, in cases where Mocsary and du Buysson adopt 

 different names, and the latter has not yet given the reasons for his 

 choice, I have mentioned both names, treating them provisionally as 

 equivalent, and putting Mocsary's name first.
