120 [May, 1902. 



P. 147 — /. binoiatus. The type is not indicated ; the description strongly 

 recalls Caelichneumon leucocerus, Grav., $ ; 1 do not think it can be Mel an ichneu- 

 mon feucome/a.t, Ginel. 



P. 151 — /. bipunclorius. No doubt remains from the description that this is 

 the $ of Melanichneumon leucuMELAS, Grind., with immaculate hind tarsi ; the 

 type is not indicated. 



P. 157 — /. cingulipes = Amblyteles oratorius, Fab., var. bipunctus, Perth., 

 Ann. Soc. Fr., 1895, p. 650, ^ • It is not Ichneumon deliratorius, Linn. ; the $ , 

 however, is not indicated. 



P. 158 — I. microcephalus. There is one $ in the Stephensian collection which 

 appears to be a good species ; at all events I fail to recognise it, and refer it tenta- 

 tively to Amblyteles (seiisn Thorns.), in which it appears related to A. quadripunc- 

 tortus, Mull., but differs therefrom in the absence of an apical process in the 

 ultimate ventral segment. Perhaps the following brief description will lead to the 

 discovery of its true position: — Head small, transverse, narrowed behind the promi- 

 nent eyes, evenly punctate, dull, black ; clypcus truncate, not separated from face ; 

 mandibles bidentate, piceous ; palpi ferrugineous ; facial orbits narrowly flavous. 

 Antenna) black, llavous-banded. Thorax normal, black ; metathorax rugose, costffi 

 strong ; areola slightly transverse, apically emarginate ; costulsc wanting ; petiolar 

 area tridivided ; spiracles elongate. Scutellum flat, punctate, shining, dull flavous. 

 Abdomen broad, subovate, apically obtuse, black ; postpetiole and base of 2nd seg- 

 ment centrally striolate ; 1st segment suddenly explanate, with very prominent 

 spiracles; gastrocaili small, striate ; incisures narrowly aciculate ; segments 5, 6 and 

 7 with dorsal flavous marks, that on 6th being the largest and longitudinal ; ventral 

 segments 2-4- plicate. Legs normal, piceous ; femora and coxse darker ; apices of 

 front femora dull flavous. Wings infumato-hyaline ; begulse black ; nervures and 

 stigma fulvous ; areolet small, subtriangular. 



P. 162 — I.fulvoscutellatus. No type is indicated ; probably this is Ichneumon 

 terminator ius, Grav., $ , or near it. 



P. 163 — /. quadrinotatus = Ichneumon geacilicobnis, Grav., ? . 



P. 166—/. concinnatorius. The type is not indicated, but no doubt, 1 think, 

 can remain that Berthoumieu is correct in ascribing this species to I. terminato- 

 bius, Grav., £ . 



P. 173 — /. dimidiatus = Amblyteles pallidicoknis, Grav., $ . 



P. 175 — I. diversorius. This is rightly ascribed by authors to Amblyteles 

 AEMATOKIUS, Forst., $ . 



P. 177 — /. triangulator. This is rightly ascribed by authors to Amblyteles 

 tkifasciatus, Grav., <J {nee $). 



P. 186 — /. eximius. Type not indicated ; the description, I think, applies 

 better to Ccelichneumon cretatus, Grav., than to Amblyteles glaucatoritis, Fab., of 

 which Berthoumieu considers it a synonym. 



P. 188 — I. erythrogaster — Ichneumon Coqueberti, Wesm., Bui. Ac. Brux., 

 1818, pp. 144, 335; &c, V- The type was taken by Kev. J. Burrell in Norfolk. 

 This species should stand: — Pbotichneumon erythrogaster, Steph. (1835),= 

 I. Coqueberti, Wesm. (1848), = P. Jesperi, Thorns. O. E., xviii, 1900 (part.).
