punctured in front, but very sparingly behind ; notauli very distinct in front, but 

 not entire ; metanotum sloping from base in a decided curve and somewhat abruptly 

 behind, rugose with an area a little more finely rugose. Antenna; a little tapering, 

 long, black throughout ; third joint longer than scape, not as long as the first and 

 second together ; the second nearly twice as long as third, which is about three 

 times, and the fourth about four times, as long as thick ; all the remaining joints 

 about three times as long as thick. Coxae dark, with the trochanters, or at least 

 the posterior, testaceous ; front legs testaceous except the centre of femora and last 

 joint of tarsi, which are darker ; intermediate legs testaceous, except lower part of 

 thickness of femora and last joint of tarsi ; hind legs testaceous, with base of 

 femora, knees, apex of posterior tibia; and tarsi darker. Wings hyaline ; stigma 

 and radius brown, other veins testaceous ; tegulse pale. 



This species is named in honour of Mr. Claude Morley, 

 E.E.S., &c, the learned author of " Ichneuuionologia Britannica," 

 who has done so much towards the elucidation of our indigenous 

 parasitic Hymenoptera, and who captured the only specimen I have 

 seen of the present species by sweeping flowers of meadow-sweet at 

 Foxhall, in Suffolk, on August 10th, 1902. 



Ant^eon beaumonti, sp. n. 



cj • Gro to No. 36 of Kieffer's table. Wings slightly brownish. Antennae 

 verj long, longer than whole body. Head transverse, not so square as usual, con- 

 tracted behind the eyes, very shining, with few punctures. Legs testaceous ; base 

 of coxae, of femora except extreme base of the anterior, hind knees, apex of hind 

 tibiae and tarsi, brown. 



A single J was taken at Chobham on July 28th, 1894, by the 

 late Mr. Alfred Beaumont, E.E.S., whose extensive collection has 

 been of great assistance to me, and in whose honour this insect is 

 named. In his collection it stood under the name Dryinus penidas, 

 Walk. (Ent. Mag., iv, 1837, p. 423, $ =I>. scapularis, Walk., lib. cit. 

 p. 419, $ ), which is recorded from the Loudon district in June or 

 July, and as found by Haliday near Holywood, in Ireland. It may 

 be the same insect ; but Walker's description is certainly insufficient. 



Ant^on luffnessensis, sp. n. 

 cj • First section of the radius a little shorter than the second ; the second 

 prolonged by an almost transparent vein to the wing margin ; the radius as a whole 

 running in a curved line, with only a slight break between the two sectors. Meta- 

 thorax gradually sloping without an ai*ea, rugulose, but not really dull. Head and 

 thorax shining and brilliant, with scattered punctures. Antennas long ; scape 

 decidedly shorter than the third joint, not quite twice as long as the second, which 

 is more than twice as long as wide ; the third quite four times as long as wide, and 

 the fourth even longer ; the ninth about as long aa the third, and the tenth as the 

 fourth. Mesonotum and metanotum as in A. hyalinlpennis, but the latter is not 

 dull ; mesopleurae shining, punctured in front around what I take to be the trachea.
