limbo of forgetfulness had not Berthoumieu, who is the only conti- 

 nental author who has attempted to synonymize these names, recently 

 revived the subject in his Mon. des Ichn. d'Europe. [Stephens may 

 have transposed many of his types, not all of which are indicated ; 

 his collections were not received by the authorities till alter his death 

 in 1852. His specimens, which now all bear a small oval white label, 

 include main' from the collections of Francillon, Marsham, Haworth, 

 Donovan, &c. He described thirty-three new species. 



Stephens' " Illustrations of British Entomology," Vol. vii, lSJio. 



P. 130 — /. nigerrimus. This is a dark form of Cue. I ichneumon lineator, Fab., 

 <? , and is not, as was conjectured by Berth., doubtless on account of the narrowed 

 arcolet which, however, does not coalesce above, C. bilineatus, Q-mel. 



P. 131 — I. compnnctor = I. cessatok, Mull., £ ■ The description applies 

 equally well to Ctenichneumon camelinus, Wesm., a species not yet recorded from 

 Britain, though likely to occur here, but the ultimate ventral segment is not acumi- 

 nate. The areola is transverse and the costuhr incomplete, with the dentiparal area; 

 transversely subcostate ; the 3rd and 4th segments have the apical margin obscuroly 

 rufescent ; the hind trochanters are basally, not apically, black; and the stigma is 

 piceous. 



P. 13 L — /. rufipes, J $ , = Eurylabus ruficomis, Berth., Rev. sc. Bourb., 1891 ; 

 Ann. Soc. Fr., 1896, p. 309, $ . Marshall was in error in referring the $ of this 

 species to E. torvus, Wesm. ; the metathoracic apophyses are tubcrculiform and 

 subobsolete in both sexes. The notauli are distinct and the pale clot before the 

 radix soon fades. I have taken $ o* on flowers of Angelica sylvestris in a, damp 

 situation near Lyndhurst, Hants, in August. This species must stand : — Eurylabus 

 rufipes, Steph. (1835), = E. ruficomis, Berth. (1894). 



P. 133 — /. maculifrons = Cratichneumon fabricator, Fab., $ . 



P. 136 — /. maculicornis = Phaogenes Scutellaria, Wesm., Nouv. Mem. Ac. 

 Brux., 1844, p. 183, &c, °. This species should stand: — Phaogenes maculi- 

 cornis, Steph. (1835), = P. Scutellaria, Wesm. (1844). 



P. 139 — /. cognattis. No type is indicated in the Stephensian collection, but 

 the description leaves little doubt that the $ , and probably the ? also, as pointed 

 out by Berthoumieu = Amblyteles subsericans, Grav. 



P. 140 — /. crassicomis. This <? appears referable to Probolus concinnut, 

 Wesm., Bui. Ac. Brux., 1853, p. 303, but, since I have seen no $ of this species 

 which I brought forward as new to Britain at p. 54 ante, the synonymy must for 

 the present remain uncertain. 



P. 142 — I.femorator = Probolus alticola, Grav., <J. 



P. lii—I.fulvipes. Referred by authors to Cratichneumon fabricator, 

 Fab., £ ; the type is not indicated. 



P. 144—/. albifrons = Cratichneumon fabricator, Fab., var. Ichneumon 

 impugnator, Wesm., Nouv. Mem. Ac. Brux., 1844, p. 72, 3 . It is not Cue/ichneumon 

 cretatus, Grav.
